The court on Khudyakov-Arakcheev's case decides to exhume the victims' bodies

The court has made a decision to exhume the bodies of the Chechen residents, of whose murder the officers of internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Evgeniy Khudyakov and Sergey Arakcheev are accused.

Dmitri Rogozin, official Arakcheev's defender, has informed about it: "The only proof of the officers' guilt is the bullet remaining in the body of one of murdered Chechen citizens; this bullet for some strange circumstances was not taken out, therefore, the defence had insisted on exhumation."

According to his story, on September 10 "the complete stuff of the accusation party, the defence and the judge will go to Grozny to take part in exhumation of the bodies from the burial place," the "Echo Moskvy" Radio informs.

The "Caucasian Knot" has informed earlier that Evgeniy Khudyakov and Sergey Arakcheev are accused of kidnapping and illegal detention of a person, and of murdering three residents of Chechnya - employees of a civil engineering company, who were building a military object of Federal Armed Forces in the territory of the Chechen Republic.
