Monaco attack suspect shot dead in Ukraine

Published Updated

KYIV: A woman suspected of carrying out a bomb attack in Monaco was found shot dead in Ukraine, police said on Tuesday, adding that a serving intelligence officer and an accomplice had been detained on suspicion of her murder.

Anastasiia Berezovska, 39, was wanted by Interpol for the attempted murder of a Ukrainian-born tycoon, his partner and teenage son in a parcel bombing attack last month that shocked the wealthy microstate.

In a statement, Ukraine’s national police said officers had “detained two individuals on suspicion of murdering a woman who was wanted by Interpol”, adding that the body belonged to “Ukrainian citizen Anastasiia Berezovska”.

The intelligence officer “reported the murder” during a search, police said, without elaborating.
