At the end of December, in Grozny, two brothers attacked policemen, shot them dead and one of the security officers was also killed. Now the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has instructed his brothers to declare blood enmity over the death of a policeman.
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, ordered the president of the republic’s parliament, Magomed Daudov, to declare a blood feud against the Timurziev brothers, natives of Ingushetia, who were killed on December 28 by security agents in Grozny. The meeting was broadcast on the Grozny television channel; a snippet of it was posted on his Telegram by Chechen blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov.
“Call them, show evidence, and then declare a blood dispute for our murdered comrade,” Kadyrov said.
After that, Daudov invited representatives of the Ingush teips (Ingush organizing unit. – “GORDON”) Timurzievs and Sultygovs to themselves, notes “Kavkaz.Realii”.
The incident in question occurred on December 28 in Grozny at the intersection of Mira Street and Putin Avenue. According to Kadyrov, the Timurziev brothers attacked the security forces with knives, as a result, one of the policemen was killed. Both attackers were shot.
The following day, the Telegram channel 1ADAT, in opposition to the Chechen authorities, reported that Kadyrov’s men had kidnapped the father, mother, two friends and two classmates of the shot brothers.
Subsequently, representatives of the Ingush Teips recorded a video calling the Chechen authorities, demanding that they prove that the brothers had terrorist motives, whom the officials declared militants. They also asked Kadyrov to release the close relatives of the detained Timurziev and to hand over the bodies of the dead.
Blood enmity is a custom, which consists of the duty of the murdered family members to take revenge on the murderer or their family members. This custom was and continues to be widespread in the North Caucasus, despite all attempts to ban it during the time of the Russian Empire and the USSR, notes the “Caucasian Knot”.
