Investigators released the man who confessed to the killing at Chistye Prudy, deeming his testimony self-incrimination — lawyer Moscow. July 25. INTERFAX — Bekhan Ibragimov and Akhmedpasha Aidaev, who were detained in connection with a fatal brawl at Chistye Prudy in Moscow, deny any guilt, while Magomed Suleimanov, who confessed to the killing, was released by investigators almost immediately, the detainees’ lawyer Abu Gaitaev said on Echo of Moscow radio on Sunday. "The information that the investigator released a person who confessed to committing the crime is accurate. The third person involved in the case, one of the participants in the conflict at Chistye Prudy, Magomed Suleimanov, turned himself in, handed over the knife, and was released the same day," the lawyer said. According to A. Gaitaev, investigators believe that by confessing to the killing, M. Suleimanov "falsely incriminated himself." The lawyer added that **after his release, M. Suleimanov was summoned for questioning but did not appear, and the investigator, according to A. Gaitaev, "does not know how to secure the witness’s appearance at the prosecutor’s office." **As for those detained in the Chistye Prudy killing case, neither B. Ibragimov nor A. Aidaev "categorically admits guilt," the lawyer said. ///////// I honestly do not understand what is happening. Let’s even try to set aside all the emotional and ethnic aspects. In central Moscow, at Chistye Prudy, an unidentified person kills a man with a knife thrust to the heart. There are witnesses. There are many different versions of what happened, from a group fight to a domestic dispute. Suspects are detained while the trail is still hot. All of them are only temporarily in the city and live elsewhere. One of them confesses. A knife is seized from him — the murder weapon. He signs a full confession, a so-called "chistukha" (slang for a written confession), which, as is well known, our cops treat as the "queen of evidence." After that, everyone except one person is released. Including the one who confessed to the murder and handed over the knife. What is this? **This is impossible in principle. **Any suspect in a minor theft would be kept in pretrial detention for months or years. And here we have a killer. Or an obvious accomplice. It is perfectly clear that this was not manslaughter. Not a traffic accident or anything of the sort. If the version about a mass brawl is true, especially one with an ethnic motive, then it looks even more outrageous. These people were preparing to commit a crime. How could they possibly have been released? I’d like the investigator’s full name and photo brought into the studio. Does anyone have them? Let’s take a look at this fine fellow. The "cursed nineties," whose consequences the kleptocratic regime so actively claims to be fighting, are returning in a new form. In 1993, Chechens would come to Moscow, rob and kill, then buy their way out and go back. Now they do not even need to buy their way out. Everyone is simply released after a phone call from Kadyrov (Ramzan Kadyrov, head of Chechnya). Update. The investigator is Roman Nikolaevich Motitsin. No photo yet. Update 2. Today at 19:00, there will be a memorial gathering at Chistye Prudy for the man who was killed.
