Security officials found a native of Ingushetia in Primorsky Krai who is suspected of killing a policeman and wounding his colleague in 1999. He was hiding under a false name and even served a sentence in a penal colony.

A man suspected of killing a policeman in 1999 in Ingushetia has been detained in Primorye.

In October 1999, a conflict between police officers and a man arose at the intersection of the Mozdok-Vladikavkaz and Nazran-Kantyshevo highways. The latter shot the security forces with an automatic weapon. One of the policemen died on the spot, the second was taken to hospital with serious injuries and survived, Interfax wrote on September 5.

After the attack, the man went into hiding and was put on the federal wanted list. However, in order to avoid punishment, he changed his personal data twice and replaced his passport. Almost 26 years later, security forces discovered his new identity; it turned out that he had been serving a sentence in a penal colony in Primorsky Krai for possession of weapons and preparation for the illegal sale of drugs since 2015.

The man was transferred to Ingushetia and charged under Part 3 of Article 30 - Part 1 of Article 105 (attempted murder) and Part 1 of Article 105 (murder) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
