MOSCOW, March 4 (RIA Novosti) - Russian television channel NTV said Saturday it would pay 1 million rubles (some $36,000) for information about a suspect in the recent murder of its reporter Ilya Zimin.
The suspect's photograph was shown on NTV Saturday.
The Moscow Prosecutor's Office said earlier that the suspect had been put on the wanted list.
Prosecutors said they had collected enough evidence to suspect Igor Velchev, born in 1984, a native of Moldova presently residing in the Moscow Region, of the murder.
NTV special correspondent Ilya Zimin was killed early Sunday in his Moscow apartment. His body was discovered by colleagues a day later. Experts said Zimin's death was the result of head injuries. The door to the apartment had not been forced open, they said.
Prosecutors said nothing had been stolen from the apartment. They ruled out any link between the murder and the reporter's professional activity.
