Killers of three Gipsies are searched in Ingushetia

The law enforcement bodies of Ingushetia continue searching the killers of three residents of the Republic, Gipsies by nationality.

Most likely, the killers were two in number. The unknown persons got over the fence into the yard of the Gipsies who lived in the Pionerskaya Street. Under threat of fire-arms they brought the three men who were in the house into the boiler-room and shot them dead point-blank cold-bloodedly. Later, the bodies were found there of Vasily Lyulyakov, born in 1956, and two brothers Grigoraschenko - Yanysh, born in 1981, and Peter, born in 1989. Two of the casualties were tractor drivers in the local "Krasnaya Rossiya" State Farm, and the third one was a blacksmith, the Radio Liberty reports.

The Radio remarks that the criminals followed the already known scenario: in the same manner earlier, also at night, the families of teachers Teryokhina and Draganchuk, as well as two shepherds-Avars, were shot dead.

The law enforcement bodies insist on a single version - nationalist-motivated murder.

A criminal case was initiated on the fact of assassination under the respective article of the Russian Criminal Code, as Ibragim Mogushkov, head of the Investigatory Committee, told the RIA "Novosti" today.

At the same time, human rights activists are confident that these are no longer confessional or ethnic conflicts, but a direct challenge to the authorities of Ingushetia and power agencies: "The population is dissatisfied with the authorities, and it's absolutely understandable," Aslanbek Apaev, expert of the International Helsinki Group for Northern Caucasus, has commented on this new murder.
