5 Arraigned for Killing of Putin Critic Nemtsov

One of the suspects in the killing of leading opposition figure Boris Nemtsov has admitted involvement in the crime, Russian news agencies said Sunday, according to The Associated Press. Judge Nataliya Mushnikova said that Zaur Dadaev made a statement confirming his guilt, according to the reports. Dadaev is among five suspects detained in the Feb. 27 killing, when Nemtsov was shot while walking on a bridge near the Kremlin. Another man, Anzor Gubashev, was charged in the killing, and a hearing for three other unnamed suspects was under way, court spokeswoman Anna Fadeeva said earlier Sunday.
