“Shooter, who shot troops in Simferopol has been caught ” – allegedly wrote Aksenov. On the Twitter page, it was also stated that the details of this case may shock.

However, Sergei Aksenov has no pages on social networks.

Therefore, on the same day the Crimean police allegedly denied reports about the arrest of a suspect in the shooting in Simferopol, where two people were killed.

“It’s fake. We have not detained anyone, we are working on the investigation”, – the spokesperson of the Crimean militia Olga Kondrashova said to Interfax.
