RUSSIAN investigators probing the murder of Boris Nemtsov are considering the possibility that one of the men held in connection with the opposition politician's shooting was also the organiser.
Zaur Dadaev is suspected of pulling the trigger in Mr Nemtsov's murder, the news service Interfax reported, citing an unidentified Russian law enforcement official. The Investigative Committee, which is leading the probe, declined to comment when contacted by Bloomberg. The accused gunman, who served as a deputy commander in the Chechen police's battalion "Sever", admitted involvement in the killing, according to Interfax.
