Sulim Yamadaev's relatives insist that some other man was murdered in Dubai
Relatives of Sulim Yamadaev continue to deny the information about his death and insist that not the ex-commander of the "Vostok" special GRU battalion but some other man was assassinated in Dubai. However, they give no answer to the question why, if Sulim Yamadaev is alive, his brother or wife who are there with him cannot make a photo or a video of the wounded man to refute the rumours about his death.
"Maybe, Isa or Milana (Sulim's younger brother and wife, accordingly, who are now in Dubai with him, - note of the "Caucasian Knot") are not allowed to make his photos. Yesterday, we spoke again with Isa, and he said that Sulim was much better, but doctors didn't let to stay for long in his room," one of close Yamadaev's relatives asserts. "He also said that the news about Sulim's death was a mistake. Indeed, a Chechen was killed in Dubai, but it was not Sulim, but one of the persons who accompanied him."
So far, in the Gudermes houses of the relatives of the ex-commander of the "Vostok" battalion, who was several times announced dead within these four days, there are not preparations for the tezet (Chechen rite of commemoration). Periodically, people come to these houses, but neither widely open gates nor crowds people and cars, as usually happens when someone is buried in Chechnya, can be noted there.
