[Regnum] The person detained on suspicion of murdering the chief of the radiation, chemical and biological defense troops, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, did not maintain ties with terrorists, the Uzbekistan-24 TV channel reported on December 18.

"Information about this citizen was immediately sent to Moscow. He did not maintain ties with terrorists and was not held accountable," the TV channel reported, citing a source.

On the same day, it became known that the suspect in the terrorist attack against Kirillov was allegedly named Akhmad Kurbanov. Earlier, the representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs Irina Volk reported that the perpetrator of the terrorist attack was detained in the village of Chernoye in the Balashikha District of the Moscow Region.

As noted by the official representative of the Investigative Committee Svetlana Petrenko, the detainee explained during interrogation that he was recruited by the Ukrainian special services. According to him, it was on their instructions that the man came to Moscow, received a homemade explosive device, which he attached to an electric scooter parked at the entrance to the apartment building where the general lived. The man also admitted that for committing the terrorist attack he was promised a reward of 100 thousand dollars and travel to one of the European countries to live.

The bomb explosion that killed Kirillov and his assistant occurred early in the morning of December 17 on Ryazansky Prospekt in Moscow. The general's driver, who was waiting for him in his official car, was concussed and injured by glass fragments. The power of the homemade explosive device exceeded 1 kg of TNT.

The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under three articles of the Russian Criminal Code: murder, terrorist act, and illegal trafficking of weapons and ammunition (Articles 105, 205, and 222 of the Russian Criminal Code).
