The man murdered on Wednesday in a parking lot of a shopping center in Kyiv's Desniansky District was a Russian citizen, who committed murder in Russia and was seeking refuge in Kyiv, Interior Ministry spokesman Artem Shevchenko has said.

"The man shot dead on Wednesday evening was a Russian citizen who had committed murder in Russia and, apparently, was hiding in Kyiv," Shevchenko told journalists in Kyiv on Thursday. He added that the man's surname was Mamedov and that he was wanted by Russian law-enforcement bodies for murder.
