Inspector advises father of Dagestan native whose execution was shown in Internet to search criminals himself

Umakhan Udamanov, a resident of Sultanyangiyurt village, Kizilyurt District of Dagestan, father of the Dagestanian, whose execution was filmed and placed in the Internet, has informed today the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that the Moscow inspector named Sergey, who dealt with the criminal case on the fact of the murder of his son Shamil Udamanov, answering the question on the progress of the investigation said that he was no longer engaged in the case.

The inspector advised Umakhan Udamanov to undertake a search of the criminals and the body of his son. The inspector was irritated with the father's contacts with representatives of federal and local mass media.

We remind that Shamil Udamanov disappeared last summer, when has left for Moscow to search for his earnings.

In winter of 2008, Shamil's brother Arthur Udamanov saw a video on the Internet of a murder of allegedly a Tadjik and a Dagestanian. Arthur Udamanov recognized his brother in the murdered Dagestanian.

The video clip was broadly circulated; and official and informal comments followed literally on that very day. Employees of the prosecutor's office, Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and FSB (Federal Security Bureau) stated that it was a video editing, therefore, no criminal case would be opened on the fact of the murder.

Then, Umakhan Udamanov, victim's father, wrote a letter to former Russian president Vladimir Putin asking him to help to find his son. Only thereafter, local militiamen initiated a criminal case on the fact of Shamil Udamanov's disappearance; then the case was transferred to Moscow, but Shamil Udamanov has not been announced into the all-Russia search yet.

In the middle of April 2008, Arthur Udamanov was summoned to the capital of Russia, and in one of Moscow prosecutor's offices he was told that the execution place had been already identified, inspectors had been there but detected no traces of violence.

On June 5, Vladimir Markin, official spokesman of the Investigatory Committee at the Russian Prosecutor's Office, informed that the video clip was authentic; and now its authorship is being investigated by Russian MIA and the criminal police of Germany.
