Anti-Kremlin website founder dies in police custody: report
AFP ^ | August 31, 2008 | AFP

A vocal critic of the Kremlin's policies in the Caucasus died Sunday from a bullet wound to the head while in police custody, Interfax reported, quoting prosecutors.

Magomed Yevloyev founded and ran the website ingushetiya.ru, a major source of information in the region, and was a prominent opponent of the pro-Kremlin president of Ingushetia, Murat Zyazikov.

Prosecutors have opened a preliminary manslaughter investigation after Yevloyev was shot in a police car in Narzan, the capital of volatile Ingushetia, a mostly Muslim region that borders Chechnya, Russian media reported.

A spokesman for the prosecutor's office, Vladimir Markin, said "an incident" took place after Yevloyev was taken into a police car "resulting in a shooting injury to the head and he later died in hospital," Interfax reported.

The website meanwhile reported that Yevloyev was killed after police arrested him in Narzan.

"Magomed Yevloyev was arrested today in Ingushetia and was killed", said a report posted on www.ingushetiya.ru.

The website is among the most visited for news on Ingushetia and had openly criticised the Ingush president who had often threatened to shut it down.

Ekho Moskvy radio separately quoted local Ingush opposition activist Magomad Khazbiyev as saying that the website founder was arrested at gunpoint after his arrival in Narzan.

Yevloyev arrived on a flight that was also carrying the Ingush president.

Russia: from monarchy to communist to a loosely organized crime syndicate.

Too bad we didn’t have Maddy Albright to go talk to the Russians about this guy. Could have easily avoided him being accidentally shot and/or beaten to death.

She has two feet of body armor around her.

That would shield almost anything she stood in front of.

The news item about this in The Sydney Morning Herald says he was shot in the head and dumped on the road and later died in the hospital. But I could not post that item due to copyright complaint.

I think they are better organized (as a crime syndicate) than most people realize.

I can’t help it, but you have to love Putin. He’s almost a perfect cliche spy novel supervillian.

Death by falling out of window.

This is scary stuff. I listed last night to an old time radio news broadcast from 1939. The parallels are chilling.

Call me paranoid if you will, but that sounds pretty suspicious to me.
