The suspect confessed to the murder of Ibragim Eldzharkiev, head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Center for Ingushetia

The main suspect in the high-profile case of contract killing of the head of the Center for Combating Extremism of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ingushetia, Ibragim Eldzharkiev, and his brother, Kureysh Kartoev, recorded a video with confessions. He said that he shot a high-ranking police officer because of a blood feud.

“Eldzharkiev was declared a blood feud after the murder of Ibi Belkhoroev. I didn't do it for glory, not for pride, not for money, not to commit a terrorist act. Nobody asked me to do this - neither the Belkhoroevs, nor those who are in prison. I don’t know most of them, I don’t know them and haven’t seen them,” Kartoev said. He himself is wanted and, according to a number of sources, he is abroad.
 
Ibragim Eldzharkiev and his brother were shot at point-blank range in Moscow in November 2019. The murder of the head of the Ingush CPE was associated with his professional activities.

A year earlier, Ibragim Belkhoroev, a descendant of the founder of the Batalkhadzhin tariqat (“sect”), Batal-Khadzhi Belkhoroev, was killed. Supporters of the Batalkhadzhins considered Eldzharkiev guilty of the death of Belkhoroev.
