Police refute information about four Okueva's killers
So far, law enforcers have no data about the number of figurants in the murder of Amina Okueva, the spokesman of the National Police of Ukraine said in response to rumours that there were four attackers.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on November 7, Anton Geraschenko, an adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of Ukraine and a Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) MP, said, referring to the police, that at least four persons were involved in the murder of Amina Okueva. He also said that investigators found the submachine gun, from which Okueva was killed, and that the DNA traces found thereon could belong to the gunman, the BBC reports.
On October 30, a car with Adam Osmaev and his wife Amina Okueva was shelled not far from Kiev. Amina Okueva was killed at the place, while Adam Osmaev was wounded. That attempt was committed by Arthur Denisultanov (Kurmakaev), nicknamed "Dingo", a native of Chechnya, the media reported. He was a suspect in the case of the murder in Vienna of Umar Israilov, the bodyguard of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
However, Nikolai Zhukovich, the head of the communications division of the Chief Department of the National Police for the Kiev Region, has reported that the submachine gun was found 1.5 kilometres away from the place of the attack; and no DNA traces were found on it.
He has stressed that for the time being it is impossible to state whether Okueva was shot dead from this submachine gun, since the ballistic examination is not over yet.
Also, the high-ranked policeman did not confirm the information about four attackers. "Investigators have no such information yet," the IA "Ukrainian National News" quoted Mr Zhukovich as saying on November 8.
