MIA of Chechnya accuses Eshilkhatoy Emir of murdering two girls
The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of the Chechen Republic is accusing Selim Bimurzaev, a militants' commander from the village of Eshilkhatoy, of shelling the representative of Chechen Ombudsman in the Vedeno District and murdering two girls.
"We managed to establish in the course of operative-search actions the person of bandits' leader, who was in command on April 20 of car bombardment in the Vedeno District. As a result of the incident, Kheda and Mata Saidumov, aged five and eight, were killed," Ruslan Alkhanov, Minister of Internal Affairs of Chechnya, has stated.
Mr Alkhanov has assured that in the near future Bimurzaev and his militants will be either detained or liquidated.
On April 20, in the Vedeno District of Chechnya, the car of Khasambek Zubairaev, representative of the Ombudsman in the Chechen Republic, was shelled. As a result of this shelling, the nieces of the official who were in his car died from received gunshot wounds.
Meanwhile, certain residents of the Vedeno District think that Zubairaev's car was shelled by mistake. In their opinion, the cause of the attack was the fact that Khasambek Zubairaev's brother is an employee of the FSB Department in Chechnya, and, possibly, the brother was the target of the attackers.
