Russia said Thursday it would expel two German diplomats, deepening a dispute over a daytime murder in a central Berlin park this summer
The dispute revolves around the Aug. 23 murder of"Tornike K," a man German prosecutors said had previously fought alongside anti-Moscow separatists in Chechnya and"was classified and sought by Russian authorities as a terrorist."
He was walking to the mosque just before midday when he was shot twice in the head in Berlin's Tiergarten park. Often touted as Berlin's version of New York's Central Park, this tree-filled green space of 519 acres is close to the city center and tourist attractions such as the Brandenburg Gate, and is popular with local joggers.
Prosecutors have said there were"enough indications" that the killing was either"contracted by government offices of the Russian Federation or the autonomous Chechen republic as a part of the Russian Federation."Previously the Kremlin has accused the 40-year-old of being a member of a terror organisation called"Caucasian Emirate.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday that the victim's alleged"participation in incredibly bloody terrorist acts and mass murders" in Russia had been established by Russian law enforcement agencies, AP said.

They all don cropped, double-breasted red coats with ornate epaulettes and gleaming silver buttons while working the dancefloor into a fervor wild enough to alter the club’s climate.
