Ingushetia: special operation or extrajudicial execution?

On August 6, 2009, around 6 a.m. in the village of Kantyshevo (Ingushetia) officers of Federal security service in Ingushetia killed three people during the joint special operation with Domestic forces, Temporary joint group and Ingush Ministry of Home Affairs.  

Press release distributed by the press-service of Ingush Federal security service says that during the special operation Musa Hautiev and Adam Hautiev were killed. The third man, unknown, exploded himself. There were no losses in law enforcement authorities. According to the operations report, the three men were members of the so-called "shooting group" and took part in the killings of officers of law enforcement authorities.

Some days later, the third man was identified. It was Vitaly Chernobrovkin, 1975, Vorkuta resident. It should be noted that he was the main suspect in the case of abduction of the son of Mikhail Stavsky, the vice-president of "Rosneft," in April of 2009 in Moscow. He was released on June 18, 2009.   

Hautiev's relatives say that the official information is wrong. They believe that it was extrajudicial execution.
