The number of people killed in the terrorist attack rose to 115, all six suspects were arrested

In the terrorist attack that happened last night (Friday) at the “Crocus City Hall” concert hall in the city of Krasnogorsk, in the Moscow region of Russia, 115 people were murdered, as the governor of the region, Andrey Vorobiev, said a short time ago.

According to reports in the country, the additional bodies were discovered while emergency services were clearing the rubble. “The number of victims may increase significantly. Currently, 115 deaths have been officially confirmed,” Vorobyov said.

The investigation of the incident reveals that six suspects carried out the terrorist attack. All six were caught by the country's authorities after apparently trying to cross the border into Ukraine. “The gunmen planned to cross the border and had contacts on the Ukrainian side. The terrorist attack in Karchum was carefully planned. The weapons for this were prepared in advance. All the gunmen were arrested within a few hours of each other in the Bryansk region near the border with Ukraine.” An official from the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) said. Two helicopters and eight drones were flown to the area to search for the suspects.

The six, who were dressed in military uniforms, entered the concert hall armed with automatic weapons and opened fire indiscriminately, while the crowd tried to take cover from them. One of the suspects who was arrested in the Bryansk region, 19-year-old Muhammad Subir Faizov, born in Tajikistan, tried to hide behind a tree and was located by a drone by the security services. In his interrogation, sitting on the floor and shaking, he said that he participated in the attack for “500 thousand rubles” and half of the money already transferred to him.

The names of four suspects, out of the six who were arrested, were published on social media: Nasridinov Mehmedarsul, 37, Ismonov Ribozhidin, 51, Sepolzoda Shokinjun, 21, and Nazarov Rustam, 29. All are citizens of Tajikistan. The country's security services stopped a Renault Symbol car near the village of Tepli (in the area of ​​the village of Hatson, Krachinsky District, Bryansk Region), a few kilometers from the border with Belarus and Ukraine. According to the initial information provided, there were six people in the car: two were arrested, and four more managed to escape and were caught later.

A source in the rescue services said: “28 bodies of the dead were found in one of the toilets in the building. In one of the corridors, near the stairs, another 14 bodies were found. Families were lying together, some were found dead while hugging, many mothers were found hugging their children.”

The Ministry of Health of the Moscow region published an updated list of 41 dead in the terrorist attack. As mentioned, the number of dead has risen to 115. Yesterday, after the terrorist attack, the ISIS organization published an official statement in which it took responsibility for the attack.
