MOSCOW, June 28 - RAPSI. Moscow Region resident Maxim Baklagin, who was suspected of participation in killing Judge Eduard Chuvashov in 2010, has admitted to the crime and will cooperate in the investigation.

The court has placed Baklagin under arrest until August 16.

During the hearing, he pleaded guilty and did not object to being placed in custody.

Chuvashov was shot dead in the entrance to his home in Moscow in 2010.

During his judicial career in the Moscow City Court, he reviewed over 20 high-profile criminal cases. A number of them concerned murders on ethnic grounds.

According to the FSB, the suspects detained in the case are Moscow Region residents born in 1985.

They are believed to have radical views and to have been members of underground armed groups since 2004.

The suspects attempted to put up an armed resistance during their arrest. A Suomi submachine gun, a Makarov pistol and a hand grenade were seized during their arrest.

In late March, investigators named the suspect who is believed to have killed the judge as Moscow resident Alexei Korshunov, 28. He has been charged with judge assassination motivated by revenge for considering extremism cases. Korshunov died as a result of an accidental grenade explosion in Ukraine in October 2011.
