Bastrykin demanded a report on the investigation into the death of Sergei Susdov.
The reason was a discussion of the circumstances of the critic's death on the federal television channel. The participants of the program doubted the conclusions of the investigation and pointed out contradictions between the original version of what happened, the video recording of the events and other facts.
They also demanded to continue the investigation and conduct additional tests.
The criminal case is being handled by the Likotia investigative committee. Bastrykin instructed the head of the regional department to report on the progress of the investigation and to check the arguments that were raised on the air.
