"Kommersant": medical experts suppose two pistols in Nemtsov's murder case

By the outcomes of the comprehensive forensic examination, medical experts suggest that Boris Nemtsov was shot dead from two different pistols, the "Kommersant" writes today.

Boris Nemtsov was killed in Moscow on February 27. Five persons, including Zaur Dadaev, Anzor and Shagid Gubashev, Khamzat Bakhaev and Tamerlan Eskerkhanov, were detained on suspicion of involvement in the murder and put under arrest.

Experts have suggested that one pistol could have a silencer; and Nemtsov received three wounds from it. The rest of his wounds were caused by a pistol without a silencer, the "Kommersant" reports without disclosing the sources of this information.

So far, no comments have been made by investigators on the outcomes of the examination.

Earlier, it was reported that at the murder scene casings were found from cartridges manufactured at different times by different factories.
