Former Russian naval commander shot dead

Moscow, July 12: A former Russian Navy commander was shot dead while he was jogging in the southern city of Krasnodar, according to media reports.
Stanislav Rzhitsky, the 42-year-old who reportedly commanded the Krasnodar submarine, was shot in the back and the chest in a park near the Olimp sports centre, the BBC said, quoted Russian newspaper Kommersant.
Russian investigators said a suspect, identified as Serhiy Denysenko, born in the Ukrainian city of Sumy in 1959, has been arrested in connection to the crime. Several Russian Telegram channels have claimed that Denysenko was the former head of the Ukrainian Karate Federation.
Russia’s Investigations Committee has also released a video of the alleged arrest, but the man’s face is blurred in it. (Agencies)
