The suspect in a playground murder of a dentist gunned down in front of his 5-year-old daughter says he has "no clue" about the slaying.

Mikhail Mallayev spoke to both the New York Post and the Daily News from the DeKalb County Jail in Decatur, Georgia. He's being held without bail while officials await court orders to send him to New York to face a second-degree murder charge. He was arrested Tuesday.

Mallayev, who lives in suburban Atlanta, said he was in New York on October 28th, when Doctor Daniel Malakov was killed. Police have said they are investigating the possibility that Mallayev was hired or otherwise persuaded to commit the crime.

Police have said they found Mallayev's fingerprints on a tape-covered bleach bottle they believe served as a makeshift gun silencer left at the scene. Mallayev told the newspapers he had no idea how his fingerprints could have turned up on the device.

Malakov's relatives have accused his ex-wife, Doctor Mazoltuv Borukhova, of orchestrating the killing. But she has disavowed any connection to it.
