Relatives of three killed residents of Dagestan state their non-involvement with militants

Relatives of Nukhudin Zubairov, Shamil Gadjiev and Magomed Khairulaev, residents of the Kizilyurt District, have refuted the data of power agents that the above trio had been militants' helpers. Relatives demand to have their bodies for burial.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that initially it was said that the above three men were killed on December 16 on the outskirts of Kizilyurt. According to a law enforcement source, all of them were presumably helpers to local militants.

According to relatives, Zubairov and Gadjiev worked for one of local providers. On the day of the murder, they were on the way to some site, when "people in black uniform opened fire on them from a jeep."

"There are witnesses who can testify that Zubairov and Gadjiev did not shoot. After the murder, when people ran up to them, there were no weapons in their car. It was revealed later that a submachine gun was planted into their car," said one of the relatives.

According to his version, Zubairov and Gadjiev were killed in Kizilyurt, while Khairulaev was shot dead in the village of Komsomolskoe.

Relatives of Zubairov, Gadjiev and Khairulaev assert that the casualties "had no ties with militants." According to their story, on December 18 they appealed to the Prosecutor's Office of the Kizilyurt District with a demand to get the bodies for burial.
