 In an earlier testimony Yurovsky does not mention Voykov at all.None of the numerous eyewitnesses mentions Voykov as a direct participant in the murder and the concealment of bodies.According to the memoirs of Grigory Besedovsky, a Soviet Diplomat who defected to France, Voykov and his accomplices used bayonets and pierced the breasts of the still living daughters of Nicholas II, as bullets ricocheted off from their corsets.
