Two admit murdering Russian journalist

Two men from Tajikistan have admitted robbing and killing Russian TV journalist Ilyas Shurpayev, a murder said to have reinforced Russia's image as one of the most dangerous countries for reporters. Shurpayev, who worked for Russia's state-run TV network Channel One, was found dead on March 21 in his Moscow apartment. According to their story, the murder had nothing to do with Shurpayev's work.
