GIBDD Deputy Chief assassinated in Makhachkala
This morning, Temirkhan Salikhov, the Deputy Chief of the Makhachkala Road Police (known as GIBDD), was shot dead in the yard of his house. Investigators associate the murder with his official activities and believe that members of illegal armed formations (IAFs) could be involved in the crime, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told at the Investigating Department (ID) for Dagestan of the Investigating Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF).
Temirkhan Salikhov was shot dead at about 7:30 a.m. Moscow time in Akushinsky Avenue in Makhachkala.
"Temirkhan Salikhov was killed in the yard of the house where he lived. He came out of the porch in his uniform and went to the car. At that moment, unidentified persons, presumably, there were three of them, opened fire on him. Three bullets hit him," an official from the above ID of the ICRF told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
"The assailants fled in a black Lada Priora car. Investigators believe that they are IAF members," said the source.
The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was informed at the on duty unit of Makhachkala GIBDD that Temirkhan Salikhov began his service as the Deputy Chief several days ago. "He was appointed to the post earlier this week, on August 4. Earlier, he headed the on duty unit," said an official from the unit.
