In Moscow, the Basmanny district court made a decision on Sunday regarding the first suspect in the recent deadly concert hall attack, where at least 137 people lost their lives. The court ruled that the suspect should be held in custody for the next two months until the trial takes place, as reported by Interfax news agency.

According to Russian authorities, a total of 11 individuals have been detained in connection with the attack. Among them are four gunmen who managed to escape from the concert hall and were later found in the Bryansk region, located around 340 km (210 miles) southwest of Moscow.
