MOSCOW: Five men accused of the shock murder of top Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov last year faced the jury on Monday as their high-profile trial opened at a Russian military court.
Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister and one of the most prominent opposition politicians who openly criticised President Vladimir Putin, was gunned down late at night on February 27 last year as he walked across a bridge near the Kremlin. The suspects, all ethnic Chechens, sat in a glass cage in a Moscow courtroom packed with journalists, diplomats, rights activists.
The men, who were guarded by police and special forces wearing balaclavas, all said they were pleading **t guilty. The full trial opened after months of stalling as investigators hunted for Ruslan Mukhudi**v, a low-ranking Chechen security official who they say paid the suspects to kill Nemtsov, although the motive is still unclear.
Nemtsov´s supporters argue that the probe did **t question high-profile figures, such as Chechnya´s fiercely Kremlin-loyal gover**r Ramzan Kadyrov, and never targeted those who ordered the murder in a high-traffic area that is closely watched by police.
"The murder of Boris Nemtsov has **t been solved," said lawyer Olga Mikhailova, who represents Nemtsov´s family. "The organiser... has **t been found and has **t been brought to justice."
