MOSCOW (Reuters) – A court in Moscow on Thursday ordered the suspect in the killing of top Russian general Igor Kirillov to be sent to pre-trial detention for a period of two months, the court said on its Telegram channel.
The suspect, a native of Uzbekistan, was charged with an act of terrorism resulting in the death of a person, a notice on the court website said.
Russia said on Wednesday it had detained a suspect who had confessed to planting and detonating a bomb in Moscow which killed General Kirillov, who was the chief of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, on the instructions of Ukraine’s SBU security service.
