“The court extended the term of detention to Abdulazizova until August 7,” said court spokeswoman Yunona Tsareva.
It is noted that the arrest was also extended to a 17-year-old teenager accused of complicity in a crime.
Both suspects admitted their guilt.
According to the investigation, a minor resident of St. Petersburg during the search for work through the darknet found an advertisement for an order for a murder, for the execution of which he and Abdulazizov subsequently received a reward of 1 million rubles.
On October 10, 2018, in the Krasnogorsk district, an unknown person killed the police lieutenant colonel of the investigator Yevgeny Shishkin.
Subsequently, the IC of Russia stated that the crime was committed in order to prevent the investigation of criminal cases.
