Judge from Chechnya killed in KBR was on business tour
Adam Agakhadjiev, an arbitration judge from Chechnya, who was found dead on October 9 in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR), was heading for a business trip to the city of Yessentuki, Stavropol Territory, says the ICRF. So far, law enforcers have no facts about any conflicts of the judge or the other casualty – entrepreneur Isa Ataev – that could serve as a pretext for the murder, said a source from the Chechen Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA).
"The version of killing for robbery is a priority, although others are not excluded. Investigating bodies are checking all options and question relatives and friends," the source told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
Bodies of Agakhadjiev and Ataev were found by employees of road services in the morning on October 9 in a ditch on the 21st kilometre of the Federal Highway Vladikavkaz-Pyatigorsk. There were no documents and mobile phones on the bodies; the car, in which they were travelling, had also disappeared.
Agakhadjiev and Ataev were shot from firearms and finished off with headshots, said the source from the Chechen MIA.
Agakhadjiev was appointed to the post of a judge of the Court of Arbitration of Chechnya on April 20, 2011, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, says the website of the Federal Arbitration Court of the North-Caucasian Federal District (NCFD).
