Georgy Bovt, Moscow Times: Rumors Swirl in Moscow, But Kremlin Is Silent
More than two weeks have passed since the murder of Boris Nemtsov, and investigators have already managed to report the initial results of their work. They have arrested five people: 28-year-old Zaur Dadayev, the former deputy commander of the Chechen Interior Ministry's Sever battalion that serves as Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov's "personal guard," 32-year-old truck driver Shagid Gubashev, 33-year-old private security guard Anzor Gubashev, 35-year-old Tamerlan Eskerkhanov and 45-year-old Khamzad Bakhayev.
One more suspect blew himself up with a grenade during his arrest in Grozny. The man who allegedly shot Nemtsov, Zaur Dadayev, supposedly confessed to the crime. However, human rights activists who visited Dadayev in detention reported that he retracted his confession, that he had been tortured into confessing and that he had only confessed because he was afraid his captors would kill him otherwise.
WNU Editor: When details on the murder of Boris Nemtsov became public .... I pointed out how troubling the Chechen connection was .... and that all fingers pointed to the Chechen leadership. But absent any proof my speculation was just that .... speculation. But more details are now coming out .... and more to the point .... troubling indications that Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov may have had a hand in it. Even the European press is starting to notice .... Putin just made a huge decision that may explain his strange disappearance (Brian Whitmore, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty) .... and one has to wonder where all of this may be heading.
