Instagram users outraged by murder of young Chechen woman

The Chechen Prosecutor's Office has launched a check of reports about the murder by a Gudermes resident of his wife, who was secretly buried at night. Instagram users have called on casualty's relatives to achieve an autopsy.

Many Instagram commentators found it necessary to exhume the body and conduct a forensic examination. They also expressed condolences to the casualty's mother and expressed concern about the future fate of her two young children.
