The law enforcement bodies of Ingushetia are investigating another attack on a Russian-speaking family accomplished in the Sunzha District of the Republic, as a result of which father and son Lagai were killed.
A source from the law enforcement bodies has informed the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that "yesterday morning two bodies with head gunshot wounds were detected in a private house of the Ordzhonikidzevskaya village, Sunzha District of Ingushetia. They were identified as Anatoly Lagai, born in 1941, and his son Alexander Lagai, 29. Judging by the condition of the bodies, the murder was committed several days ago."
"According to preliminary data, the victims were Koreans by nationality. Now, the motives of the crime and the culprits are being established," the source has added.
The prosecutor's office of the Sunzha District has already initiated a criminal case under the following articles: murder of two or more persons and illegal purchase, storage and bearing of fire-arms and ammunition undertaken by a group of persons under preliminary arrangement."
The investigation considers several versions of the incident, including murder with the aim to destabilize the situation in the region.
