An "international terrorist group" had sent money to the man suspected of detonating a bomb on the St Petersburg metro, reports say.

Russian investigators say the man suspected of detonating a bomb on the St Petersburg metro earlier this month received money from an "international terrorist group" in Turkey, the RIA news agency reports.

Fourteen people were killed in the attack.

Russia's Investigative Committee said Akram Azimov, the brother of the suspected organiser of the attack, had transferred money from Turkey to the suspected bomber, Akbarzhon Jalilov, RIA reported on Thursday.
