‘Almost 4,000 people’ donate blood after attack
Almost 4,000 people came forward to donate blood over the weekend following the Crocus City Hall attack, Russia state media outlet RIA Novosti reports.
At least 154 people are thought to be injured.
Meanwhile, a steady stream of people have added to a makeshift memorial near the concert hall, creating a huge mound of flowers.
“It is a tragedy that has affected our entire country,” said one of the mourners, kindergarten employee Marina Korshunova.
“It just doesn’t even make sense that small children were affected by this event.”
Concert hall attack suspects arrive at Moscow court
Suspects in the Russia concert hall attack have arrived at a Moscow district court.
There was a heavy police presence around the court, which is expected to determine pretrial restrictions for the men.
The Russian Investigative Committee suspect them of opening fire on crowds of concert goers at the capital’s Crocus City Hall, killing at least 137 people.
One of the suspects was led blindfolded into the courtroom, before it was removed and a black eye was visible.
