[KavkazUzel] The convict and his lawyer were killed by the victim outside the Nogai District Court, and a murder case was opened based on blood feud, the prosecutor's office said. The suspect was dissatisfied with the court verdict in the case of an accident in which his son died, sources said. A criminal case under the article on the murder of two or more persons, committed in a generally dangerous manner motivated by blood feud (Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), and the illegal acquisition and storage of weapons (Part 1 of Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) was initiated after a double murder in the Nogai region, reported today the prosecutor's office of Dagestan. According to investigators, on March 15, at about 13:00 Moscow time, after the verdict of the Nogai District Court was announced, when the convict, his defense attorney and relatives were leaving the parking lot, the victim in the case fired at least eight shots at them from a pistol. As a result, the convict and his defense attorney died in the hospital from their injuries. Another victim was hospitalized, the Telegram channel says. The murder occurred in the village of Terekli-Mekteb near the courthouse after the judge made a decision in the case of an accident in which a 15-year-old boy died. After the verdict, the child's father shot several times at the convicted car driver and his lawyer, Sapa Kavkaz reported today. The tradition of blood feud, which developed during the clan system to protect the honor and property of the clan, in the North Caucasus still operates as a relevant social mechanism. According to this custom, the relatives of the murdered person must take revenge on the killer or his relatives, as noted in the “Caucasian Knot” certificate “ Blood feud - how they kill now in the Caucasus.” Several stories of blood feud told by participants and eyewitnesses of the events are given in the article “ Payment for Blood ” published on the “Caucasian Knot”. |
