Frost presumed killer of man who hid in airliner landing gear - Russian detectives

MOSCOW. June 6 (Interfax) - An initial inquest suggests that the young man who was found dead inside one of the landing gear compartments of an airliner that arrived in Moscow early on Thursday from Rimini, Italy, froze to death more than four days ago, Russia's top criminal investigation agency said.

"In examining the body, a plastic travel passport to the name of Giorgi Abuladze, a national of Georgia, born in 1991, was found. The man wore a T-shirt and shorts, and had a pen knife on him," the Investigative Committee press service told Interfax. "A necessary forensic investigation has been ordered."

The plane landed at Vnukovo airport.
