MOSCOW (Reuters) -The suspect in the killing of top Russian general Igor Kirillov has been taken to the crime scene in Moscow, state media said on Thursday.

Lieutenant General Kirillov, who was the chief of Russia's Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, was killed outside his apartment building on Tuesday along with his assistant when a bomb attached to an electric scooter went off.

The Izvestia news outlet showed a handcuffed man walking along a road in Moscow, escorted by police.

Russia said on Wednesday it had detained an Uzbek man who had confessed to planting and detonating a bomb which killed Kirillov in Moscow on the instructions of Ukraine's SBU security service.
