In Ingushetia, another owner of alcohol-selling shop shot dead

Today, at about 5:30 p.m., in Verkhnie Achaluki village, Malgobek District of Ingushetia, near his house No. 61 in the Bekova Street, Kureish Evloev, whose shop was selling alcohol, was shot dead from a sub-machine gun. The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was informed about it by Vakha Chapanov, head of the "Maximum" Information Agency in Ingushetia.

"He was executed right near his house in the Bekova Street, the central one in Verkhnie Achaluki; he was 54 and had a family and children," said Mr Chapanov.

According to the source of the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent, businessmen are already afraid of trading in alcohol. "The whole republic has only three places left where vodka is sold - Evloev's shop was one of them," Vakha Chapanov has added.

"It's not clear what happens in the republic. We're not a Muslim country; and nobody has introduced the Shariat laws here. We're still living in a democratic country," he continued. "People can't understand who benefits from such murders."

According to Mr Chapanov, an ambulance arrived at the place of the incident, but Evloev died on the way to the hospital.

The head of the "Maximum" reminded that in the end of March Evloev's neighbour Sonya Darakueva, who also traded in alcohol, was also shot dead. And earlier, in the village Troitskaya, Sunzha District, two sisters - Zinaida Mazieva and Khava Tachieva - were assassinated for the same business.
