Rustam Makhmudov, the suspected assassin of journalist Anna Politkovskaya who was shot dead more than four years ago, has been arrested in Chechnya, according to a Sky News report.
Makhmudov was taken into custody late on Monday, his family's lawyer said.
Politkovskaya was killed on a Saturday afternoon in October 2006 when she returned to her apartment block after a shopping trip and was shot four times.
She worked for Moscow's Novaya Gazeta newspaper and was widely known for her criticism of the war in Chechnya.
