A Ukrainian woman, Irna Filinka was killed by Russian troops while riding her bicycle. Her body was identified by the unique heart manicure on the ring finger of her left hand. And her death was confirmed when her friends saw the image.
Olha Shchyruk, Filkina’s daughter, hadn’t heard from her mom in a month. She fled her home in Bucha, Ukraine during the Russian invasion.
And although she wasn’t able to reach her mom, she remained hopeful. But all her hopes were dashed when the terrible images of the chaos in Bucha surfaced this weekend.
Her mom, a 52-year-old training to be a makeup artist, was among the dead in Bucha. And the body was identified by her pink and purple heart manicure.
Her mother who worked as a heating station operator was in training to become a make-up artist. And she was shot by Russian forces while riding her bicycle.
In an Instagram post, Olha talked about the loss of her mother.
“Today is exactly a month, from the day my mother no longer writes to me: how is my mother’s mouse?” Olha wrote. And posted pictures of her mom in happier times.
