Description

Svetlana Protasova, a resident of Novosibirsk, shared memories of her neighbour, Dalerzhon Mirzoyev, one of those accused of carrying out the attack at Crocus City Hall near Moscow.

"I would always come here after work and see them: they're in the kitchen, their kids are running around. So, hello - goodbye and that's it, the whole conversation," she said.

Protasova mentioned that the Mirzoyev family had been living in her building for around four or five years and had made some renovations to their apartment.

On March 24, the Basmanny District Court of Moscow ordered that Tajikistan citizen Mirzoyev would be remanded in custody until May 22, 2024.

Late on Friday, March 22, 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.

At time of publication, 139 people were reported to have been killed. On Sunday, March 24, the Basmanny Court of Moscow ordered a number of suspects to be remanded in custody until May 22, on charges of 'terrorism'.

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 the suspects had been detained close to the border.

"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.

On Monday, he said that 'radical Islamists' were responsible but also hit out at the US for 'trying through various channels to convince its satellites and other countries of the world that, according to their intelligence, there is allegedly no trace of Kiev in the Moscow terrorist attack'.

"We want to know who ordered it," he added.

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

The White House stated that it was a ' terrorist attack that was conducted by ISIS' and that there was 'absolutely no evidence that the government of Ukraine had anything to do with this attack'.

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