Putin’s cops stage dramatic arrest of half-naked ‘assassin who shot dead Russian sub captain after tracking Strava jog’

Russian law enforcement staged a dramatic arrest of a suspect in the murder of submarine captain Stanislav Rzhitsky, 42, in Krasnodar. Sergei Denisenko, 64, was seen cowering on a kitchen floor in his underwear after heavily armed Russian security forces stormed a house in Tuapse, Krasnodar region, smashing the windows.

Ukrainian-born Denisenko is believed to be a karate teacher, and to have Ukrainian connections. The committee said: “A man suspected of murdering Stanislav Rzhitsky…was detained in the Krasnodar region. “He was being interrogated as a “suspect”. “During the arrest, Denisenko was found to have a pistol with a silencer, from which, presumably, the crime was committed.” The “motive for the murder is being established”. He is an “honoured master of support” who travelled in Russia and Ukraine. Rzhitsky, 42, was jogging through the Russian city of Krasnodar when he was gunned down at around 6am on Monday. Russian investigators, who pointed the finger at Ukraine, believe Rzhitsky was traced by an assassin using a jogging app. Rzhitsky left his Strava page open to public view and it showed a route he frequently took, which authorities believe the gunman studied. The ex-captain – who had recently worked as a mobilisation official for Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine –  was shot four times as he ran near the Olympus Arena in Krasnodar city. Rzhitsky was struck in the back and chest, with seven bullets fired from a Makarov pistol. He died at the scene. Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence confirmed Rzytskyi had been killed – fuelling suspicion of a revenge attack. In a post on Telegram, it said: “Due to heavy rain, the park was deserted, so there are no witnesses who could provide details or identify the attacker.” But the agency’s chief Kyrylo Budanov insisted Ukraine had no involvement in the killing. He said: “We know that the roots of what happened yesterday in the Russian Federation must be sought within Russia itself, where internal protest against the war in Ukraine is growing.” It was suggested the attack was ordered from Ukraine in revenge for an attack on the city of Vinnytsia, killing 27, one year ago. Rzhitsky was suspected of being the captain of the submarine at the moment it unleashed the Kalibr missile hell on Vinnytsia.
