KIEV, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko said here on Monday the suspects involved into the murder of former Russian lawmaker Denis Voronenkov have been dug out.
"We managed to establish all participants of the crime, including those who ordered it," Lutsenko told reporters at a press conference.
The investigation found that Vladimir Tyurin, Russian "criminal lord" and former boyfriend of Voronenkov's wife Maria Maksakova, ordered the murder in March 2017, Lutsenko said.
The assassination was prepared and performed by a group of five people, and two suspects have been arrested, he added.
According to Lutsenko, Ukraine plans to request Russia for the extradition of Tyurin.
Voronenkov, a former lawmaker of the Russian State Duma, or the lower house of parliament, was killed on March 23, when a gunman fired several shots at him in downtown Kiev.
The attacker was wounded in the shooting by Voronenkov's bodyguard and died later in the hospital.
Voronenkov served as a lawmaker in the Russian State Duma between 2011 and 2016. In December 2016, he was given Ukrainian citizenship and moved to Kiev together with his wife.
