The border guard suspected of killing 15 people on the Kazakh-Chinese border denies the presence of collaborators and accomplices, Kazakh chief military prosecutor Yergali Merzadinov told journalists on Wednesday in Astana, Novosti-Kazakhstan reported.

On May 30 a fire took place on Arkankergen border post on Kazakh-Chinese border. In summer 15 frontier guards serve at this post. About 15 corpses were founded at the scene including 14 border guards and a hunter from the nearby hunting ground located near the post. The fifteenth border guard was found alive near the post. Later the alive border guard Vladislav Chelakh confessed that he had killed his colleagues when they were asleep, the Kazakh Prosecutor General's Office reported. Chelakh named the reason of killing his colleagues due to internal conflicts and clouding of consciousness.

Following a personal meeting with Vladislav Chelakh, his mother told journalists that he has not killed anyone quoting Chelakh's words.

"He confessed [that he killed his colleagues and a hunter], and denied the existence of accomplices," the military prosecutor said.

Moreover, Merzadinov added that Chelakh tells the facts which 'only a person who committed the crime can know'.
