Suspect of murdering a boxer in North Ossetia rejects his guilt
In Vladikavkaz, a charge was presented to Soslan Abaev, 30, detained on suspicion of murdering Khetag Kozaev, World Youth Champion in boxing. Abaev rejects his guilt and refuses to evidence.
Khetag Kozaev was shot dead at night on June 13, 2010, in one of the clubs of the capital of North Ossetia by several shots from a traumatic pistol. The suspect Abaev managed to escape from inspectors. He was detained by employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in early February in the Rostov Region.
Abaev is accused of illegal arm circulation and murder, the "Interfax" quotes it source from investigatory bodies. The MTRK (Inter-State TV and Radio Company) "Mir" adds that now the circumstances of the crime are established.
