BAKU, May 4 (RIA Novosti) - Two people more people
were detained on Monday in connection with the killing of 12
people at the State Oil Academy in Azerbaijan's capital, Baku.
Last Thursday 29-year-old Farda Gadyrov is reported to
have gone on a shooting spree at the academy killing 12
students and staff dead and wounding 13 others, before turning
the gun on himself.
Azerbaijani national Gafur Kazymov, who worked at a
construction site in the Russian Far Eastern city of
Vladivostok, was arrested and transported to Baku. According to
unofficial reports, the cell phone the gunman had with him at
the time of the attack was registered in Kazymov's name.
The second detainee is Dzhavidan Amirov, a Georgian
national of Azerbaijani origin, from the village of Shulaveri
in Georgia's Marneuli district near the border with Azerbaijan
and Armenia. His connection with the gunman has not been
disclosed, but police retrieved 12 cartridges and some hashish
during a search of his house.
Azerbaijani investigators have so far made no comment on
the arrests.
Last Friday police detained Nadir Aliyev, a Georgian
national living in Azerbaijan, who is reported to have known
the gunman.
