A suspect in the Crocus City Hall shooting on Friday sits in a courtroom in the Basmanny District Court, in Moscow, Russia, Sunday, March 24, 2024. that killed more than 130 people as authorities combed the burned-out ruins of the shopping and entertainment complex for more bodies.
As they mowed down concertgoers with gunfire, the attackers set fire to the vast concert hall, and the resulting blaze caused the roof to collapse. The search operation will continue until at least Tuesday afternoon, officials said. The men were identified as Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, 32; Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, 30; Shamsidin Fariduni, 25; and Mukhammadsobir Faizov, 19. The charges carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
“They have been caught. Kudos to all who were chasing them. Should they be killed? They should. And it will happen," he wrote on his Telegram page."But it is more important to kill everyone involved. Everyone. Those who paid, those who sympathized, those who helped. Kill them all.” Opposition activists and human rights advocates noted “demonstrative cruelty” toward the men. Abuse of suspects by law enforcement and security services isn't new, said Sergei Davidis of the Memorial human rights group.
