Kyiv, Ukraine: A Ukrainian court on Friday remanded an 18-year-old man in custody over the murder of a nationalist former lawmaker, state media reported.
Iryna Farion -- a divisive hardline campaigner against the use of Russian language -- was shot near her flat in the western city of Lviv on July 19.
A Lviv court on Friday ordered the suspect, who gave his name as Vyacheslav Zinchenko, remanded in custody for at least 60 days, the state-run Suspline media outlet reported.
Zinchenko was arrested this week in Dnipro, 800 kilometres (500 miles) east of Lviv.
Investigators said they are working to figure out the motive behind the attack.
