A case on the murder of a mixed martial arts fighter has been transferred to a Dagestani court
A criminal case against a 19-year-old resident of Makhachkala, accused of murdering a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Magomed Mutayev, has been transferred to court. 19-year-old Nadirkhan Kadirkhanov is charged with murder (Part 1 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and illegal acquisition and possession of weapons (Part 1 of Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
 
During the investigation, Nadirkhan Kadirkhanov confessed to the crime. He explained that the murder was revenge for bullying by the athlete. According to the guy, first he was beaten by Mutayev's friends, and then he himself and his comrades.
 
Mutayev and Kadirkhanov used to be friends. However, the former did not like that his friend mentioned in the company that the fighter's father had once been convicted. According to Nadyrkhan, he was beaten by a crowd, his head was cut off, and they planned to burn an obscene word on his back. After some time, they began to mock and insult him again, saying that he was “not a man.” Finally, on January 31, 2024, a young man ambushed Mutayev near his house and shot him.
