MOSCOW - Zaur Dadayev, the suspected murderer of opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, has claimed that he was kept in an unknown place for two days without being shown any official documents related to his detention.
“I was abducted by unknown people on 05.03. I don’t know where I was, what place I was kept in. Only on 07.03 a resolution on my detention was produced to me already at the Investigative Committee,” Dadayev told the Moscow city court on April 1.
“Before that I was told what to say, how to say it,” he claimed.
Dadayev said a witness in the criminal case did not recognize him. “The witness that had been at the murder scene failed to identify me,” he said.
Dadayev said he testified only on March 5 through 7 when he was held by unknown men. “It was such cooperation,” he said.
In his last word in court Dadayev said he had written a complaint about his ill-treatment. Human rights activists should submit his complaints to the investigative bodies.
“The press visited me. I told them everything about the way I was treated,” the suspect said.
