GROZNY, May 21. /From a RIA Novosti correspondent). -
Six local residents have been killed in the Kalinovskaya village in the
Naur district of Chechnya.
About three o'clock in the morning a group of armed criminals on five UAZ
cars entered the village, RIA Novosti learned from head of the district's
administration Vladimir Nazarenko.
"The bandits shot a family of four in one of the private houses. Then they
burst in a neighbour house, shot two people in presence of their relatives,
and left the scene of the crime," Nazarenko said.
Though the Naur district is considered a "quiet" one, the head of the administration
had insisted "on increasing the number of checkpoints as they are not enough
to ensure citizens' security," he said.
All law-enforcement bodies of Chechnya are involved in investigating the
murder, Nazarenko pointed out.
Earlier the republic's Interior Ministry reported to RIA Novosti that five
people had been killed in the Nadterechny district. According to preliminary
information, "the victims were servicemen of security service of Akhmad
Kadyrov, head of the Chechen administration".
