Skinheads accused of murdering Dagestan resident arrested in Moscow

Six skinheads were presented charges of attacking two Dagestan residents in an electric train in a Moscow suburb, as a result of which one of the victims died. The statement was made today by Semyon Yakubov, head of the Central Investigatory Division of the Moscow Regional Investigatory Department.

"Six persons aged from 17 to 20 have been brought to responsibility. All of them are the so-called 'skinheads' and claim to be members of the informal nationalist organization 'Slavic Unity'," Mr Yakubov said.

The "Interfax" reports that all the six detainees have been charged of a murder and a murder attempt under the respective articles of the Russia's Criminal Code.

The attack on the two natives of Dagestan was committed on June 10, 2007, in one of suburban electric trains.
