ONE STEP CLOSER

Boris Nemtsov was liberal critic of Putin.

Two men have been detained in the murder of Boris Nemtsov, a liberal critic of Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin who was shot dead within sight of the Kremlin walls in late February. The suspects’ names are Anzor Gubashev and Zaur Dadayev, according to what Alexander Bortnikov, head of the Federal Security Service, told Russia’s state television station on Saturday. Both men are apparently from the Caucasus region. They may be brought to court for a formal arrest on Sunday.
