STORYLINE:
Moscow court extended the arrest of a 26-year-old Darya Trepova, who is charged with terrorism after an attack at a St. Petersburg cafe killed Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky.

The term of custody was extended by three months till 2 September.

Vladlen Tatarsky, 40, who filed daily reports on the fighting from the front lines, was killed on April 2 as he led a discussion at the riverside cafe in the historic heart of St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city.

Russian authorities described the bombing as an act of terrorism and blamed Ukrainian intelligence agencies for orchestrating the attack.

Trepova was seen on video moments before the blast presenting Tatarsky with a statuette that is believed to have contained explosives.

Her case was sent to Moscow, where the headquarters of the country’s top investigative agencies are located, in an apparent reflection of its high priority.

Russian law foresees a life sentence for terrorism-related crimes, but life terms aren't handed down to women who could instead face sentences of up to 20
years in prison.
