Yunus-Bek Evkurov: three persons killed in Nazran during bride kidnapping
In Ingushetia, kidnapping of the bride led to the death of three persons. This was declared by Yunus-Bek Evkurov, the leader of Ingushetia. He has called on law enforcers to prevent the escalation of the conflict between members of two well-known Ingush families Aushev and Evloev.
On October 26, in Nazran, a fire fight occurred, during which three persons were killed. According to the information of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of Ingushetia, two local residents in masks and with automatic weapons attacked a policeman who used his service weapon. During the fire fight, two of the attackers were killed. A woman passing by was also killed.
The reason for the conflict was the kidnapping of the bride 21-year-old Khaga Evloeva, a relative of Magomed Evloev, Major of the Department to Combat Economic Crimes (known as UBEP). Local residents, Bogatyryov brothers, tried to kidnap a potential bride for the fourth time already. Earlier attempts have failed because of disagreement of the girl's relatives.
During the discussion, members of Aushev family supported Bogatyryov brothers. The parties agreed on a meeting which took place on October 26 and quickly escalated into a conflict with shooting. The policeman, who took part in the fire fight, was detained. This was reported by the "Life News" with reference to a source from the MIA of Ingushetia.
