Interrogated as a suspect, he denied his involvement in the murder of MANEVICH. Other evidence that BONDARENKO was denied in committing this crime was not possible to obtain.

Currently, investigative and operational-search measures are being carried out to verify the involvement of Khalansky in this crime.

During the verification of signals about persons resembling the identikit, they were installed and interrogated in the case as witnesses of B .... and her daughter B ... who identified in one of the published composite portraits of the alleged criminals of their former son-in-law and husband - Gridnev Igor Vladimirovich, 29.12.197 ... born in the Alma-Ata region, who is on the federal wanted list for the murder of B ... and her young daughter, who took place in 1993 in the city of Novosibirsk.

At the same time, ULYANOV himself, by pressing a button on the remote control unit, had to activate the explosive device when the ZHUKOV appeared in the entrance.

On this fact a criminal case was filed, which received N 96.
