During the “cleansing operations” in the Vedeno district, 13 local residents were detained, 11 of them were released in the following days. Three did not return home, including a young woman. All the “disappeared” are natives of the village of Dyshne-Vedeno.

Roza Alaevna Magomaeva, born in 1970, was captured by the military at about 6 pm not far from house 29 on Rechnaya street. According to available information, the formal basis for this was the black clothes that she wore as a sign of mourning for her dead brother. Her elderly mother spent two weeks at the building of the commandant's office of the Vedensky district, crying and asking the military to return the daughter they had captured. However, as of early 2003, no new information about the whereabouts of Roza Magomayeva had been received. It is known that upon her detention and disappearance without a trace under Art. 126 part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“abduction of a person”) On October 25, 2002, the prosecutor's office of the Vedensky district initiated criminal case No. 73110. Proceedings on it in accordance with Art. 208 part 1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation was suspended exactly two months later.

Two other people, the father and son of the Malsagovs: 56-year-old Asvad and 26-year-old Bulat, who owned a sawmill and, in addition, were furniture makers,
seized from their house after 10 o'clock. The servicemen drove up in an armored personnel carrier and informed the relatives that they were taking these people away to check their documents and identify them. Then they left with them in an unknown direction.

May 22 at about 4 pm in the forest belt between the village of Berkat-Yurt and the station of Petropavlovskaya (Chech. -
Churt-Tog1i village) of the Grozny (rural) district, an armored personnel carrier drove off the Grozny-Argun highway, and then a Volga car, in whose cabin there were Russian military men.

This area territorially belongs to the Petropavlovskaya (Churt-Tog1i), and where the equipment turned, there used to be an apiary. After some time, an explosion was heard from there, and then an armored personnel carrier and a Volga appeared. Having got out on the track, they headed towards the city of Argun.

Witnesses of what was happening were people passing near the forest belt. As soon as
the military left, they went to the place where the explosion had taken place, and found the blown up remains of two people. In the pocket of one of them, a passport was found in the name of Asvad Malsagov, registered at the address: Dyshne-Vedeno village, Vedeno district, st. March 8, 26. The second killed turned out to be his son, Bulat Malsagov.

The reason for the detention of these people was cartridge cases from automatic weapons, allegedly discovered by the Russian military during a search of their house. Relatives, however, claim that the shells were planted by the military themselves.

Dagman Malsagova, Honored Teacher of the RSFSR, came to pick up the corpses. She collected the small remains of her husband and son scattered by the explosion in a bag for several hours.

Employees of the prosecutor's office, who arrived at the kindergarten, interviewed several local residents and, after a visual examination of the corpses, left the scene. The authorities did not take any measures to identify and bury the dead.
