The number of people injured in the blast in St Petersburg, Russia, has reached 40, including three minors who have sought medical help, Russian media say. Twenty-five of the victims remain in hospital, five of them in serious condition.

Tatarski, whose real name was Maxim Fomin, was killed on Sunday by a package bomb explosion in a St Petersburg cafe. The main suspect is Daria Trepova, who has been detained and questioned by law enforcement officials.
