Father of Dagestan resident recorded on a video of execution in Internet appeals for continuing the search of his son's murderers

Umakhan Udamanov, resident of the village of Sultanianghiurt, Kizikurt district, Dagestan, whose son Shamil Udamanov is considered missing since 2007, has stated to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that he intends to apply for help to the presidents of Russia and Dagestan, Dmitry Medvedev and Magomedsalam Magomedov.

"So far, no one has helped our family in the search of the criminals and the body of my son. I am 68 now, I am not so strong as I used to be to go and look everywhere, may be they will help me?", says Umakhan Udamanov. He relays that the last conversation with the Moscow investigating officer Alexei, who conducted the case, ended in a peculiar way.

"He never called me, and when I bothered him with my calls Alexei discontentedly answered that investigation was in progress. But our last conversation ended with a recommendation to look for the criminals myself. It seems the investigator did not like my contacts with journalists: I should not have told them anything", says Umakhan Udamanov.

He gave the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent the investigator's telephone number but it proved that the number had been cancelled. The father of the executed person states that Shamil Udamanov is still not in the national search list.

For reference, Shamil Udamanov went to work in Moscow in the summer of 2007. He maintained regular contacts by telephone calls but communication with him completely stopped from mid-August. In winter 2008, Arthur Udamanov, brother of Shamil, watched in the Internet a video of the murder of alleged Tajik and alleged Dagestani. Arthur Udamanov recognized his brother in the executed Dagestani.
