A Russian court on July 13 ordered the extended detention of a suspect in the murder of a military recruitment official in the southwestern city of Krasnodar. Sergei Denysenko will be held in custody pending trial, a spokesman for the court told TASS. Denysenko admitted to the killing of Stanislav Rzhitski, according to TASS, but denied working for Ukrainian secret services, insisting his motives were personal. Rzhitski, a deputy to the Krasnodar city administration official in charge of mobilization operations who previously served as a submarine commander, was found dead on July 10.
