A father and his two sons have been identified as suspects in the massacre inMoscow.
Brothers, Aminchon and Dilovar Islomov, as well as their father Isroil Islomov, all of whom had worked in northwestern Russia’s Tver region, are accused of aiding and abetting terrorism.
Dilovar is the previous owner of a car that the assailants had allegedly used to get away from Crocus City Hall on Friday.
The 24-year-old told independent outlet Novaya Gazeta Europe that he had sold the vehicle – a white Renault with a black roof – just a week before the attack.
He said: ‘I was shocked when I saw photographs [of the car at the crime scene].’
None of the three defendants admitted to being guilty during a Basmanny District Court hearing that took place behind closed doors yesterday.
A statement said: ‘With the aim of committing a terrorist act Shamsidin Fariduni involved Aminchon Islomov in the organised group no later than January 2024, and Dilovar Islomov no later than March 11, 2024.
’The investigation is requesting the court to arrest Aminchon Islomov, Dilovar Islomov and another suspect in the criminal case.’
At least 139 people were killed and another 182 wounded in the deadliest attack in the country since the 2004 Beslan school siege.
