Ukraine 'solves' editor's murder

Gongadze was editor-in-chief of an independent news website Ukraine's Prosecutor General Svyatoslav Piskun says investigators know who ordered the murder of journalist Georgiy Gongadze in 2000. The authorities have already announced the arrest of Gongadze's "killers". Mr Piskun told Ukrainian television Gongadze was strangled by employees of the Interior Ministry, but he would not reveal who was behind the plot. President Viktor Yushchenko said it was a matter of honour to solve the crime - widely seen as politically-motivated. "The killers executed a criminal order. We know the person who gave this order," Mr Piskun said. He said two of the alleged killers who had been detained were policemen working for the criminal investigations directorate, a department of the Interior Ministry.
