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.

“”Along the way, a shot was involuntarily fired from a policeman’s gun and the bullet hit Yevloyev’s head,” the source was quoted as saying.”
Putin’s Russia sure is a blast from the past. But what do you expect when you put a KGB man in charge?
Sad thing is that some sheep over their probably will believe that someone an opposition leader was “accidently” shot in the head by police.
What is the difference among them?
Russians are very accident prone it seems. Especially those who oppose Putin and his adorable little puppet Medvedev.
Thanks very much for posting, Berlin_Freeper.
Condolences to Magomed Yevloyev’s family and friends.
Putin-cide
Thank you for posting this thread.
I used this search and went past todays articles, to the history of this man.
Interesting reading, found several sites that I had not read before and am convinced that we will see much more of this in the future.
I have followed the reporters of Russia for many years, if they are not dead, they go to a mental hospital, until they loose their urge to tell the truth about Russia.
As happened to the Lady Reporter about a year ago.

Dear Sue-Ann,
The Magomed Yevloyev (or Evloev) who runs "Ingushetia.ru" has nothing to
do with Beslan. The name is quite common in the area.
Btw., there is a lot of confusion who that "Magas" actually is or was.
At first, one of the leaders of the hostage-takers, who called himself
"Magas", was identified as Magomed Yevloyev by the Russian side.
A Magomed Yevloyev, who also went under the nom de guerre "Assadulla", had
taken part in Basayev's attack on Nazran earlier in 2004. The Russian
officials declared that "Magas"/Yevloyev was among the killed
hostage-takers.
Nevertheless, there was no convincing identification of
Yevloyev among the found bodies.
At some point the Russian authorities
began to claim that "Magas" actually wasn't Yevloyev, but one Ali
Taziyev.
In 2006, it was claimed that said Taziyev had been killed in an
explosion together with Basayev.
In a parallel world, someone with the
nom de guerre "Magas" surfaced as the "amir" of the Ingush mujahedeen.
This Magas is sometimes identified as Magomed Yevloyev, sometimes as Ali
Taziyev.
In official decrees by former Chechen President Umarov, as well
as in emirate pamphlets and in Kavkaz-Center stories, "Magas" is
consequently identified as *Ahmed* Yevloyev.
Everything around these names has been completely obfuscated. Ahmed
Yevloyev is certainly a real person.
Maybe the Russian media are
confusing him with Magomed Yevloyev, who might be a partly virtual
figure, created over the Magomed Yevloyev / Assadulla, who took part in
the mentioned Nazran raid, and who was connected with Beslan by Russian
officials in their attempt to present some credible names.
A search of the list archive for e.g. "Magas" and "Yevloyev" (or
Evloyev, Evloev etc.) will result in a large number of contradicting
stories.
Best regards,
Norbert
