At about 21:00, Gyurzhekh Abuevna Akharasheva, born in 1926, was killed in her house in the city of Urus-Martan. The woman was standing in the hallway near the gas stove when a bullet hit her in the temple. The killers fired ten shots: one towards the victim, nine at the house. The shooting came from the street, from behind a brick fence. From this place to the hallway, covered on three sides with glazed frames, is only 10–12 m, and it was impossible not to notice what was happening inside.

Presumably, there was more than one criminal. Neighbors of Gyurzhekh Akharasheva claim that they heard the patter of feet of two or even three people who fled after shelling their gardens.

The prosecutor's office of the Urus-Martan district opened a criminal case into the murder of a woman.
