Eyewitness: murderers of the young man in Nazran threatened the witnesses
One of the eyewitnesses of the murder of the young man named Islam Garakoev committed on August 30 in Nazran (Ingushetia) asserts that the killers threatened the witnesses of the incident with their sub-machine guns and shot atop of their heads.
The details of the incident as reported by this eyewitness were published by the web site "Ingushetia. Ru." The news item runs, in particular, that teenager Islam Garakoev was walking along the road in his headphones listening music. Suddenly, people in sports suits and masks went out of a "Zhiguli" Model 7 car and "without any warnings shot the guy dead from a Stechkin pistol":
"Then, people in helmets jumped out of the 'Tablet' (folk name for 'Zhiguli-7') and shot out a whole machine-gun magazine at the lying body, and kicked him like a dog. Then, they put a pistol, a magazine and a brochure beside the body and videoed all that."
According to the eyewitness, during the murder, quite a lot of people were around and saw everything what happened; one of them made an attempt to film the events to his mobile phone, however, the attackers took the phone away and crushed it. Besides, they shot atop the heads and threatened the witnesses of the murder with their sub-machine guns. An hour later, militia cars arrived and took the body away.
