Two more security officers detained in case of death of "Akhmatovite" in Dagestan OMVD

Two more defendants in the case of the murder of a "SVO" member in the local police department have been detained in Makhachkala. According to "Baza", two PPS officers who used violence against 48-year-old Akhmed Dzhabrailov were brought to investigators. Earlier, another police officer was detained in the same case.

Recall that on July 9, Akhmed Dzhabrailov, a participant in the "special operation" in Ukraine as part of the "Akhmat" special forces, was detained "for violating public order". The press service of the Dagestan Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that he behaved inappropriately - he ran on the roof of a house with a knife, while under the influence of drugs. The man died 5-7 minutes after being detained at the police station. CCTV cameras showed that the security forces used physical violence against him, including using a stun gun.

The results of the examination showed that Akhmed Dzhabrailov died of suffocation due to "compression of the chest and abdomen." No drugs or alcohol were found in his blood, as previously assumed. This was reported on his Telegram channel by activist Shamil Khadulaev.
