Brutal beating and murder in Goisky, detention of a man in the Kurchaloevsky district

September 14, 2001

***
About an hour in the courtyard of the house of Movlda Baudinovich Umaev, born in 1958, living in the village of Goiskoye, a noise was heard. One of his two sons, Alikhan, looked out the window and saw the barrel of a machine gun pointed in his direction. “Open the door, otherwise I’ll shoot everyone,” someone commanded him from the street in Russian.
As soon as the son of Movlda Umayev removed the latch from the door, throwing it open with a kick, four armed men in masks and camouflage uniforms ran into the hallway. They knocked the sons of the owner of the house and himself to the floor with rifle butts and beat them. One of those who entered pointed a machine gun at Movldy Umayev. But the second one asked: “Maybe not here?” Covering his head with a towel, they tied him down with tape, tied his hands and took Movldy Umayev out of the house.

From the alley in which he lived, the captured man was taken to Ostrovsky Street and here, 10–15 m from the passage to his house, he was killed. Three shots were fired at him at point-blank range: two bullets hit his heart, one hit his neck, damaging his spine.

On the morning of September 14, the crime was reported to the Urus-Martan District Department of Internal Affairs. An investigation team left for the scene. A criminal case has been opened into the murder of Movlda Umayev.

***
At a mobile post established by the Russian military between the villages of Dzhugurty and the villages of Kurchala, Nasrudi Magomedovich Gerikhanov, born in 1962, was detained. A message about this was sent to the prosecutor's office of the Kurchaloevsky district only a month later.

Employees of the Memorial Human Rights Center do not have any other information about the further fate of this person.
