The home of the suspected suicide bomber behind Monday’s deadly explosion on the St Petersburg subway has been searched. The bomb went off on a train under Russia’s second-largest city, killing 14 people and injuring dozens.
Investigators said they suspect a 22-year old Kyrgyz-born Russian citizen, Akbardzhon Dzhalilov, had detonated the bomb.
The Investigative Committee said in a statement today that the investigators searched the man’s home in St Petersburg. They also examined CCTV footage from outside Dzhalilov’s home which shows him leave with a bag and a backpack.
Another bomb, hidden in a bag, was found and de-activated at another St Petersburg station just half an hour before the blast.
Dzhalilov’s DNA was found on the bag.
