"I would like to inform you that the work that has been
conducted has resulted in two suspects in this crime being
detained today. They are a Gubashev, Anzor and a Dadayev, Zaur,"
he said in a video posted on state TV Channel One's website.
No further details were provided about the suspects, but RIA
Novosti news agency quoted Bortnikov as saying that both were
from the Caucasus.
Bortnikov told Channel One that Russian President Vladimir Putin
had been informed of the detention and that the investigation
was ongoing.
Nemtsov, 55, was shot dead near the Kremlin on the night of Feb.
27 as he was walking home and many European politicians and
diplomats attended his funeral in Moscow on Tuesday.
The Kremlin has denied accusations that it played a role in his
death.
