The fourth suspect in the murder of Dinara Alkhassova has been taken into custody.
The court has arrested a woman suspected of murdering taxi driver Dinara Alkhassova, the ex-wife of a previously arrested man in the same case from Makhachkala.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on November 4, the court sent to custody a resident of Makhachkala and two of his acquaintances, all three are suspects in the case of the murder of taxi driver Dinara Alkhassova.
On November 2, the body of 34-year-old Dinara Alkhassova, a resident of Makhachkala who went missing on October 30, was found in a wasteland near the village of Novy Khushet. The former husband and two of his acquaintances were detained on suspicion of her murder. Residents of Dagestan, discussing the murder of Dinara Alkhassova on social media, previously emphasized that ex-husbands have no right to control women's personal lives, to forbid them from entering into new marriages, or to independently determine their future. Some participants in the discussion expressed concern that women may be subjected to violence even after divorce.
The court in the Soviet district of Makhachkala has arrested a woman involved in the case of the murder of Dinara Alkhassova, the Investigative Committee of Russia for Dagestan reported today on its Telegram channel.
"At the request of the investigator, the court has chosen a measure of restraint in the form of detention for the defendant in the criminal case. Thus, four suspects in the commission of the specified crime have been taken into custody," the statement from the law enforcement agency said.
According to the investigation, Alkhassova's ex-husband could not accept the divorce and her new marriage and decided to take revenge on her. The woman worked in a women's taxi and accepted orders only from women. An acquaintance of the suspect posed as a tourist and ordered a trip to the Sulak Canyon, and when Alkhassova arrived for the order, her ex-husband and his acquaintance were already waiting for her there.
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the acquaintance of the ex-husband buried Alkhassova's body on a relative's plot near the village of Novy Khushet, with the help of a tractor driver who was unaware of the crime. The murdered woman's car was driven to the yard of a high-rise building in Makhachkala, changing the license plates, and her phone was taken to the Kizilyurt district and thrown into a ditch to confuse the search. In addition to the two men, police detained a 38-year-old native of the Smolensk region, who, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, helped lure Alkhassova to meet her ex-husband.
"Caucasian Knot" also reported that murders of women by husbands or former partners have repeatedly occurred in Dagestan. For example, on October 14, the Kizlyar District Court sentenced a mullah to nine years in prison for the murder of a woman with whom he was in a Muslim marriage. According to the investigation, the man strangled her during a conflict fueled by jealousy and buried her body in the Tarumovsky district. The deceased was a mother of four children.
Late in the evening on September 8, a 45-year-old woman and her 23-year-old daughter were shot dead in a cafe in Khasavyurt. The former husband of the older of the deceased was detained on suspicion of double murder. According to a colleague of the woman, he had been stalking her after the divorce and demanded that she and her daughter quit their jobs at the cafe, considering such work a disgrace to the family. The younger of the deceased left behind three children.
On January 29, police discovered the dismembered and burned body of 36-year-old Malvina Magomedova, a mother of three children. Razhidin Yarliev, with whom she had entered into a Muslim marriage, was detained on suspicion of murder. In a video published by the police, he confessed that he strangled the woman after she demanded the return of money for the car he had sold her.
