Ukraine police officers arrested for murder in killing of five-year-old boy

KIEV (Reuters) - Two Ukrainian police officers were arrested on suspicion of murder on Tuesday, accused of fatally shooting a five-year-old boy while drunkenly firing weapons at cans and bottles in the courtyard of an apartment building, officials said.

The boy Kyrylo Tliavov was taken to hospital with a head injury last week and died late on Monday, sparking protests by activists outside the interior ministry building. They lit flares and held placards saying "the police kill people".
