Mutilated bodies of 10 civilians
found in Chechnya
The remains of 10 people, civilian citizens of Chechnya, have been found in the
republic's Groznensky District. All the bodies bore marks of a violent death,
Chief Prosecutor of the Chechen Republic Vladimir Kravchenko told the press on
Tuesday.
The bodies were found on Monday in a ravine near a motorway. A group of investigators
is currently working at the scene. The bodies are badly disfigured, many of them
by explosions, and this makes identification very difficult. Only two of the dead
people have been identified by relatives so far. A criminal case under the article
'mass murder' of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation has been started.

not refer to this press release. But this has not been said explicitly. This fact
should rise some doubts or at least one should be cautious.
