Russia’s Investigative Committee announced that human remains had been found in an apartment on Yulebinsky Boulevard in Moscow. A criminal investigation was launched following the incident.

The person sought on suspicion of killing the woman and her daughter was detained together with an unidentified woman. Security services said the remains found were believed to belong to the woman who was allegedly killed, and that the involvement in the killing of the person with whom she lived was being investigated.
The committee said the woman’s daughter’s body was found in a garage in the New Moscow area used by the person who lived with the mother. A section of the garage where weapons were stored was also identified, and the crime-scene examination there is ongoing.
As part of the investigation, the route taken by the suspect was reconstructed using security-camera footage. The work enabled investigators to establish the suspect’s movements in detail.

The suspect, who was taken to Moscow, is expected to be questioned shortly. Investigators are also examining whether the 1986-born woman who was with the suspect was involved in the crime.
