MOSCOW, 18 JUN — RIA Novosti. The investigating committee from the Russian State Prosecutor's Office has completed its preliminary investigation into the murder case involving Anna Politkovksya, reported Vladimir Markin, an official representative of the committee to RIA Novosti.
News reviewer for Novaya Gazeta, Anna Politkovskaya, was killed on the evening of October 7th, 2006, in the stairwell of her home on Lesnaya Street in Moscow.
«Today, in accordance with Article 215 of the Criminal Procedural Codex of the Russian Federation, the main directorate of investigations from the state prosecutor's office has declared that it has completed all its investigative activities and finished the preliminary investigation,» said Markin.

He noted that during the course of the investigation a host of figures were ruled out as complicit in Politkovskaya's murder, in particular the former governor of Chechnya's Achha-Martanovsky region, Shamil Buraev. Therefore the criminal investigation of these persons has ceased.
