Three years after escaping to Russia, Dmitry Krynin, a
35-year-old suspected of murdering Leonid Yarimich in February 2010, was
extradited to Israel from Kazakhstan.
Krynin managed to flee Israel before the body was found in
his Ashdod apartment and was only recently arrested in Kazakhstan with the aid
of local authorities, Interpol and the Russian police.
The suspect will be brought on Saturday evening for a remand
hearing in Kiryat Gat's Magistrate's Court.
The body of the murdered Yarimich, 25, was found by his
la
ndlord, showing marks of severe violence and lying in a large puddle of
blood. The police immediately started canvassing the area, but by the time
Krynin was named a suspect he had already left the country.
Following his escape, the Prosecutor's Office's
international department filed an international warrant for his arrest, which
led to his identification in Kazakhstan.
With the aid of Russian and European authorities, Israel
filed an extradition request with Kazakhstan, following which Krynin was
returned to Israel on Friday and arrested in Ben Gurion International Airport
by the police.
Another suspect in the murder, who also escaped Israel, is
yet to be found.
