The attacker on the escorts in the train near the Murtazovo station was extradited from Georgia.

Inmate Dmitry Pushkarev was previously extradited from Georgia on charges of creating a criminal community and drug offenses, the source reported.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on the evening of October 2, one of the inmates being transported on the train from Vladikavkaz to Adler, near the Murtazovo station in Kabardino-Balkaria, fatally wounded an escort, seized his weapon, and injured three other FSIN employees. He was killed in the shootout. It was previously reported that one of the three FSIN employees is in serious condition after the attack, while the other two are in moderate condition.

The inmate who attacked the escort staff in the special carriage of the train near the Murtazovo station in Kabardino-Balkaria was previously extradited from Georgia, a source in law enforcement agencies reported.

"The individual eliminated during the attack on FSIN employees is Dmitry Pushkarev, who was previously extradited from Georgia to face criminal charges for drug offenses and part 1 of article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (creation of a criminal community)," TASS quoted the source today.

Recall that initially, on the evening of October 2, sources in the law enforcement agencies reported a prison riot and the taking of escorts hostage. Later, the FSIN denied the information about the riot and stated that the attack was carried out by one inmate. According to the agency, he seized the escort's service weapon, fatally wounded one employee, and injured three others. There were no casualties among civilian passengers.

The Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for Kabardino-Balkaria has opened a criminal case on charges of theft of firearms, disorganization of the activities of institutions ensuring isolation from society, and encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer.
