Last night, in the south-east of Chechnya, a group of unknown persons kidnapped a woman-local resident. Later, her body with numerous gunshot wounds was found by employees of law enforcement bodies. The motives of the crime remain unknown.

Under a threat of violence, the criminals forced the woman and took away, nobody knows where," the source said.

"The investigation studies a number of versions of the incident, and a criminal case has been initiated on the case of kidnapping," he added.

In the evening of August 18, a group of armed persons in masks kidnapped Tamerlan Nasipov, 19, a 5th year student of the Grozny State Oil Institute; he was kidnapped from his house in the Leninskiy District of the city. The boy was released some 24 hours after kidnapping. Neither he himself, nor his relatives would not say, what the power agency, to which his kidnappers belonged was.
