A Chisinau court has prolonged with 25 days the preventive arrest of the head of the criminal police from the northern district of Rascani.

He is investigated for inaction in investigating a double murder. Two men were killed by their drinking pals with a hammer, on June 18.

The victims’ relatives say the heads of the Rascani district police inspectorate must be punished for trying to hide the case.

Four police officers from that district were suspended in connection with this case.
