Three of the four suspects charged with carrying out the concert hall attack in Moscow that killed more than 130 people have admitted guilt for the incident in a Russian court.
They were formally charged with committing a group terrorist attack resulting in deaths on Sunday 24 March in Moscow’s Basmanny District Court.
The offence carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and the court ordered that the men, all of whom are citizens of Tajikistan, be held in pre-trial custody until 22 May.
The fourth suspect was brought to court from a hospital in a wheelchair and sat with his eyes closed throughout the proceedings.
