MOSCOW — A suspect in the murder of the opposition politician Boris Y. Nemtsov blew himself up as the police closed in on him overnight, Russian news reports said on Sunday, while new disclosures indicated that one of the men already detained in the killing had served as a police officer in the fight against Islamic insurgents.
Five suspects were due to be arraigned at Basmanny District Court in Moscow, Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for Russia’s Investigative Committee, said in a statement. Security forces established a cordon around the court.
The two prime suspects, whose names have been officially confirmed, are Zaur Dadayev and Anzar Kubashev, whose arrest was announced on Saturday. There was no announcement from law enforcement agencies confirming the names of the other three suspects although details of further detentions emerged overnight.

… blew himself up as the police closed in on him overnight, Russian news reports said on Sunday …Well, that sure is a real credible source.
Suicide by car bomb, eh?
The communists and oligarchs in charge of the American government will be at this level in 10 years.
Soon, anyone who knows anything will be dead. No surprise here; it’s how you cover your tracks. I don’t why Putin is making the effort-it’s not any great mystery.
Remember when stuff like that was ridiculous? Now you see it a hundred times a day.
Russia has been fighting terrorism for decades. Have you noticed that they don’t have a Gitmo?
Intimidation and terror are also forms of political capital.
lol!! Beat me to it!!
Won’t people ever learn that homemade meth labs are dangerous?
Yeah, sure he did.
Travis, how dare you not trust the Russian Press, tsk, tsk...
Amish?
Blew himself up? I’m shocked. One down, several to go.
details of further detonations emerged overnight.
A lot of BJ’s dead friends would tell you it’s already here.
That is, if they could.
They seem to be connected to anti-Russian Chechens currently fighting for Kiev in Ukraine. At least, that’s the connection most of Russian Media is making.
They say it was an attempt to trigger an Anti-War/Anti-Putin movement, and protests. Given the timing, the night before a large, permitted, Opposition protest in Moscow, it’s plausible.
A High Profile Anti-Russian Chechen Commander, Isa Munayev, wanted by the Russians for War crimes in Chechnya, was killed a few weeks ago by the rebels, and the Chechens vowed revenge.
Chechens are fighting foe ISIS, as well. Another high profile Chechen Muzzie commander was killed in Aleppo, in mid-January.
