The responsibility of Artis Velss, the head of the Public Order Police and Feierabends' immediate superior, will also be assessed, Interior Minister Rihards Kozlovskis said.
Murnieks said that all four individuals involved in the case, including two police officials, have been remanded in custody but declined to reveal the identities of the two other suspects.
