Frequent searches scare children, said Khava Pogorova, Akhmed's daughter-in-law.

She said that this time nothing was seized during the search.

According to Khava Pogorova, the local district policemen and the head of the criminal search division were not allowed to be present at the search on June 18.

The district policeman was not allowed to be present; they kept him aside there, on the path," said the woman.
