Leader of 21st Century – Language, Homeland, Faith opposition party Guram Sharadze, 66, was killed last night in central Tbilisi, Georgia, the REGNUM news agency reports.

Guram Sharadze was supposedly shot five times in front of Aldagi Insurance Company office. Under preliminary reports, Giorgi Barateli, born in 1977, suspected in killing Sharadze was detained shortly after the attack and confessed in the murder. He was reportedly wounded during the arrest, as he showed resistance to police forces. He was hospitalized.

As son-in-law of Guram Sharadze told reporters, Giorgi Barateli had been under Sharadze’s tutelage for several years. He was an orphan, and after Guram Sharadze started taking care of him, Barateli lived in his house and then was sent to Switzerland. “Giorgi committed a crime there and did not want to return to Georgia. They got him out of the pawn and brought back here. After that he took offence at Guram Sharadze and they had no relations in recent years,” Sharadze’s son-in-law told reporters.

Police started investigation, witnesses are interrogated. Supposedly, there is a video footage of the incident shot by CCTV camera at Aldagi office.
