The Ukrainian National Police plan to retrieve and analyze all records from outdoor surveillance cameras installed around the scene of journalist Pavel Sheremet's death in Kyiv, National Police chief Khatia Dekanoidze, has said.

"We will take all files from all cameras installed around," Dekanoidze told journalists on Wednesday.

After that, police plan to analyze the videos, she said.

"This is a test for the efficiency of everyone's work, I mean policemen. I especially dislike this situation in the run up to the religious 'Procession of the Cross,'" Dekanoidze said.

Timur Filonenko, a Radio Vesti correspondent, reported from the scene of the crime that Sheremet, who routinely hosted radio programs on workdays, was scheduled to host a radio program at 08:00 a.m. Kyiv time on Wednesday.

Russia's Novaya Gazeta reported on its website with reference to Sheremet's friends that "Pavel Sheremet and his common-law wife Olena Prytula, the head of Ukrainska Pravda, had lately complained about being followed."
