Olexiy Pukach, the main suspect in the notorious 2000 murder of Ukrainian journalist Georgiy Gongadze, has testified in court that then President Leonid Kuchma ordered the killing. Gongadze, an outspoken critic of President Kuchma, was kidnapped and his headless body was found months later in a forest in September 2000. Pukach, a former general at the Ministry of the Interior, was arrested in 2009 after six years on the run and confessed to personally strangling and beheading Gongadze. Pukach says Kuchma ordered the murder and was in collusion with current parliament speaker, Volodymyr Lytvyn, and former Interior Minister Yuri Kravchenko, who has since deceased.
