A former Ukrainian general suspected of carrying out the high-profile murder of journalist Georgiy Gongadze has reportedly confessed to the killing.

A senior police official said Oleksiy Pukach had also implicated senior political figures in the murder.

Mr Gongadze's decapitated body was found in a forest in September 2000.

Three others - all former policemen - were jailed for the murder last year but Gen Pukach remained on the run until his capture on Tuesday.
