A court in Moscow has ruled that a woman suspected of involvement in a bombing at a St Petersburg cafe that killed a Russian military blogger who was an ardent supporter of the war in Ukraine should stay in custody for two months pending an investigation.

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