Witness in Nemtsov's murder case recognizes two defendants

At the trial of Boris Nemtsov's murder, a concierge of the house in Veyernaya Street in Moscow was questioned. She stated that Ruslan Geremeev was the owner of one of the apartments; and Zaur Dadaev and Tamerlan Eskerhhanov used to visit him.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the Moscow District Military Court began considering, with the participation of a jury, the above case on October 3.

Today, the court has started questioning the witness Galina Garafonova, who said that she works as a concierge in No. 46 Veyernaya Street in Moscow. According to her story, she has recognized several defendants, including the alleged killer Zaur Dadaev and Tamerlan Eskerkhanov, who had presumably followed Nemtsov.

At the previous session on November 10, the witness Larisa Amalchieva, the manager of a real estate agency in Moscow, told how the purchase of the above apartment was made. According to her story, the agency was approached by Ruslan Mukhudinov; he made an advance payment; and the purchase contract was made to the name of Arthur Geremeev, the "Mediazona" reports.
