Moscow's Basmanny District Court remanded three additional defendants in the Crocus City Hall attack case - Dilovar, Aminchon, and Isroil Islomov - in custody on Monday.

The suspects are seen in footage listening to the judge's verdict in the dock, with all three accused of involvement in a 'terrorist act resulting in the intentional infliction of death to a person'.

According to investigators, one of those accused of carrying out the Crocus City Hall attack, Shamsidin Fariduni, allegedly recruited Aminchon and then Dilovar into the group. According to local reports, none have admitted to any wrongdoing.

Late on Friday, unidentified individuals dressed in military fatigues opened fire in the Crocus City Hall, a 6,000-seat multipurpose concert hall where a Russian rock band was set to perform. A massive fire broke out in the building shortly after.

According to the Russian Investigative Committee, the attack left 137 people dead, with 182 injured, at the time of publication. In turn, the Ministry of Health reported that as of Sunday, 110 were being treated in hospitals, and 32 had been released.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations said that rescuers were still clearing the rubble and the collapsed structures inside the building. The Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ('Terrorism').

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a day of mourning and described the attack as a 'barbaric terrorist act' in a televised address on Saturday, adding that four perpetrators had been found and detained.

“They tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them from the Ukrainian side to cross the state border,” Putin said.

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed the attackers planned to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border and 'had relevant contacts on the Ukrainian side'.

In turn, the Russian Investigative Committee said that special services had detained four suspects in the Bryansk region, not far from the border with Ukraine.

On Friday, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said it 'categorically denies' accusations of Kiev’s involvement in the shooting.

The US and other Western countries attributed the attack to Afghan-based Islamic State affiliate 'ISIS-Khorasan' ('Isis-K'), citing an online channel they said was associated with the group.

The UN press service reported on Friday that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the terrorist attack on the concert hall 'in the strongest possible terms'.

“The Secretary-General expresses his deepest condolences to the families of the victims, the people and the government of the Russian Federation,” the statement added.

A number of foreign countries, including the United States, Belarus and Turkey, expressed condolences in connection with the shooting in the Moscow region.
