ST. PETERSBURG, November 2 (RIA Novosti) - A hitman who killed the wrong man in 2009 before getting the right one six months later has been arrested in St. Petersburg along with two accomplices, the regional department of the Russian Investigative Committee reported on Friday.

The department said Alibala Aliyev, Kamil Gurbanov and Zamin Isayev - all Azerbaijani nationals - have been arrested on two counts of premeditated murder.

“In March 2009 in Azerbaijan, a man named Mamedov, who was on a wanted list, ordered the murder of his fellow countryman" for no less than 300,000 rubles [$9,570], the department said.

“Isayev supplied Aliyev and Gurbanov with firearms and ammunition to carry out the killing,” it said.

Investigators said that in April 2009, Isayev brought Aliyev and Gurbanov to a St. Petersburg café where Aliyev fired three shots at an Azerbaijani national behind the wheel of a Toyota who later died of his wounds. But it turned out that the hitman had shot the wrong person.

However, six months later, in October 2009, Aliyev shot dead the man Mamedov had intended, the Investigative Committee said.
