The suspects rested at a camp equipped for a long stay. When requested by law enforcers to surrender, the suspects started shooting and were killed by return fire, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was informed at the Investigating Department for Kabardino-Balkaria of the Investigating Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF).
