A suspect in the murder of artist Skrepetsky has been arrested in Poland.
Elnur A., a suspect in the murder of artist Semyon Skrepetsky, who drew caricatures of politicians, including Ramzan Kadyrov, refused to admit guilt and testify. A court in Lublin ordered the suspect to be remanded in custody for three months.
As "Caucasian Knot" reported, on June 18 it was reported that a suspect in the murder of artist Robert Kuzovkov (Semyon Skrepetsky) had been detained in Poland. The detained man used a Georgian passport; according to some sources, the document is highly likely fake, and the suspect is a Chechen. The man, detained in a Warsaw suburb on suspicion of murdering Semyon Skrepetsky, the author of caricatures of the Kadyrovs, spoke Russian and knew Azerbaijani, according to his hostel neighbors.
On June 16, Russian artist Robert Kuzovkov, who drew caricatures of Ramzan Kadyrov and Vladimir Putin under the pseudonym Semyon Skrepetsky, was shot dead by unknown assailants in the Polish city of Biała Podlaska. Kuzovkov's death only increased interest in his work and gave new resonance to the themes he touched on in his work, social media users noted, commenting on the murder of the author of the Kadyrov caricatures. Friends of the artist are certain that the murder was politically motivated; the prosecutor's office has announced several theories, but has not disclosed them.
The Polish National Prosecutor's Office has charged a Georgian citizen with the murder of Russian artist Semyon Skrepetsky.
The suspect's full name has not been released; he is identified as Elnur A. The indictment states that he shot Skrepetsky five times. After his arrest, he denied guilt and refused to testify. The prosecutor's office requested his arrest for three months, citing the risk of absconding, fleeing, obstructing the investigation, and facing severe punishment. In the case of murder, the punishment is life imprisonment.
In another post, the office stated that the suspect was arrested for three months.
"The Lubelskie-Zachodzki District Court in Lublin issued a preventive decision in the form of a three-month pretrial detention for the 36-year-old suspect," Lublin police wrote on social media today.
Coordinating Minister of Intelligence Tomasz Siemoniak stated that the involvement of foreign intelligence agencies in the murder will be thoroughly investigated, RFM FM reports.
The "Caucasian Knot" has compiled stories of the assassination of Ramzan Kadyrov's opponents in the EU in the fact sheet "Murders of Kadyrov's Critics in the EU".
