Natalia Estemirova's body was found in the same place, where wounded Magomed Evloev was found

The body of assassinated Natalia Estemirova was found in the area, where last year the fatally wounded Ingush oppositionist Magomed Evloev was detected, who had been detained on the previous day by employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ingushetia at Magas Airport. In the opinion of a source in law enforcement bodies of Chechnya, this circumstance and a number of others evidence that the kidnapping and murder of the renowned human rights activist were parts of a carefully devised action.

"This circumstance gives rise to some ideas; and it can hardly be regarded as a pure coincidence," the source said to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

He has added that there are also other facts confirming the version of Estemirova's pre-planned murder. "Natalia Estemirova was kidnapped at about 8:30 a.m. and, in the opinion of experts, she was shot dead in 1.5-2 hours, that is, practically at once when she was brought to the territory of Ingushetia," said the source and continued: "The witnesses also say that some woman figured in the case, acting as a pointer, who distracted Estemirova in the moment of kidnapping."

According to his story, she was brought to the place of the murder not in Zhiguli but in some other car. "That is, on the way from Chechnya to Ingushetia she was put into another car (an off-road vehicle). And, most likely, they shot Estemirova from a pistol with a muffler. Her hands were tied down; most probably, she was in handcuffs," said the source.

Until now, nobody can answer the question on how the criminals could freely drive the kidnapped Estemirova through numerous check points in the territory of Chechnya and get into the neighbouring republic with her.
