The Interior Ministry released surveillance camera footage from the Sarpi Customs office which shows the suspect in the murder of sixteen-year old Mariam Kochalidze leaving the border of Georgia into Turkey. The video shows a young man with a brown backpack and black handbag receiving his credentials from customs officials and leaving the area.
The ministry announced it had identified the 28-year old Iranian citizen Mohamadin Ruintan as the person responsible for the murder of the girl whose body was discovered by relatives on July 23 near the Batumi Boulevard.
