Description

One of the Crocus City Hall attack suspects was transferred from the pre-trial detention centre to his home in Putilkovo, Moscow Region, during the ongoing investigation.

Footage taken on Thursday shows investigators carrying Muhammadsobir Faizov out of a prisoner transport vehicle and putting him in a wheelchair.

On the same day, the official representative of the Russian Investigative Committee, Svetlana Petrenko, alleged that 'as a result of work with the detained terrorists, examination of the technical equipment seized from them and analysis of information on financial transactions, evidence of their links with Ukrainian nationalists has been obtained.'

Ukraine had not commented on the claim at time of publication. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said it 'categorically denies' accusations of Kiev’s involvement in the shooting.

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, over 140 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'.
