Amirkhanyan's preventive measure was extended in the case of the murder of ex-MP Kiva

The Tverskoy District Court of Moscow has extended the measure of restraint to businessman Arayik Amirkhanyan, who is being investigated for the murder of former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ilya Kiva in 2023. This was reported to Izvestia in court on October 30.

The businessman will remain in custody until December 6.

Earlier, the businessman pleaded not guilty and stated that he was in custody at the time of Kiva's murder. According to him, he considered Kivu his friend, and could not commit a crime. Amirkhanyan's defense is convinced that the investigation has no real evidence of his involvement in the incident.

Kiva's body was found on December 6, 2023 at the Velich Country club in a park near Moscow. Then the killer fired twice, approaching the politician from behind. The first bullet hit the heart area, the second one hit the head.

Later, on December 11, 2023, the Crimean Wind Telegram channel reported, citing sources in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), that the SBU had been preparing an operation to eliminate Kiva for a long time. Her agents studied all possible details of the routes of the former MP, his daily routine and habits.

On September 16, a court in the Moscow Region arrested Amirkhanyan as part of the investigation into the murder of Ilya Kiva until November 2.
