Opposition leader Nemtsov’s murder caught on CCTV camera (VIDEO) ― RT News
According to the video, the politician was gunned down at 23:31 Moscow time by a killer who was allegedly waiting for him on the stairs of the bridge.
The murder happened when Nemtsov and his companion – a woman in a white coat, allegedly Ukrainian model Anna Duritskaya – were covered from the camera by a snow-clearing vehicle passing by.
The alleged killer then ran towards a car which was stopped on the bridge several meters away. He got into the passenger's seat, and the vehicle drove off.
LifeNews also obtained footage showing Nemtsov and Duritskaya arriving separately at GUM department store facing Red Square at around 22:00 MSK.
The pair apparently had dinner at one of GUM’s restaurants and then decided to walk to the politician’s nearby apartment – the path of which required a walk across Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge.
Nemtsov’s murder has been condemned around the globe, with US President Barack Obama, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel urging a thorough investigation of the crime.

ロシアの野党指導者で、プーチン政権のウクライナ政策に批判的な立場をとってきたボリス・ネムツォフ氏が２７日深夜、モスクワ中心部で何者かに銃で撃たれて殺害された事件を受けて、野党勢力は１日に５万人規模の追悼行進を行うことを明らかにしました。
行進は、大統領府のあるクレムリンに近い、ネムツォフ氏が殺害された現場を通る予定で、野党勢力は追悼とともに、ウクライナを巡るプーチン政権の政策に反対するよう呼びかけることにしています。
一方、重大事件を担当する捜査委員会のマルキン報道官は２８日、ロシアの政治状況の不安定化をはかる者や、ウクライナの民族主義者か親ロシア派の過激なメンバー、さらに預言者の風刺画の新聞掲載を巡ってネムツォフ氏を脅迫したイスラム過激派などの関与について調べていると発表しました。
捜査当局では、ネムツォフ氏の自宅にあったパソコンや文書などを入手するとともに、銃撃の際に一緒にいたウクライナの女性から引き続き事情を聞くなどして、容疑者の手がかりを探しています。
