Relatives said they did not believe in his involvement in the attack.
As the " Caucasian Knot " has reported, today in Beslan there are mourning events on the occasion of the 19th anniversary of the seizure of the school. People come to School No. 1 to lay flowers in memory of the victims of the 2004 terrorist attack.
On September 1, 2004, militants seized 1,128 hostages in the gymnasium of School No. 1 in Beslan. The operation to free them ended on September 3, 2004. As a result of the attack, 334 people were killed, including 186 children, and another 810 people were injured. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report " Terrorist act in Beslan (September 1-3, 2004) " and a chronicle of the terrorist act and the events that followed it.
Law enforcement agencies said they had identified one of the participants in the terrorist attack in Beslan in 2004 - it turned out to be Aslanbek Parchiev, a native of Ingushetia. For 19 years, Parchiev, whose identity has not yet been established, was listed in the documents in the case of the terrorist attack as "militant No. 11" - one of five terrorists whose corpses could not be identified then, Izvestia reported.
According to the publication, in May, investigators received information about the discovery of a match with the fingerprints of one of the unknown terrorists. “It was established that in May 2002 this person was brought to administrative responsibility in Moscow. His fingerprints were requested and a fingerprint forensic examination was carried out.", said Albert Khasauov, senior investigator for especially important cases of the Investigative Committee for the North Caucasus Federal District.
The conclusions of the investigation were confirmed by a DNA test taken from his relatives. Parchiev was also identified by the only surviving militant, Nurpasha Kulaev, who is serving a life sentence. In an interview, he said that he was forced to take up arms. However, the victims of the attack were unable to identify Parchiev from the photo.
According to Khasauov, Parchiev's relatives have not seen him since 2003. And during the last meeting, he said that he was leaving for Kazakhstan to work.
“He was 32 years old when he left home to work. He was not married. He dropped out of college, although his parents dreamed that he would continue the family profession of a doctor,” said older sister Marina Parchieva.
The younger sister Zareta Parchiev added that her brother was hit hard by his father, who, in a fit of aggression, often broke down on his son. "Maybe that's why he left home then," she said.
Both Parchiev sisters said they did not believe in the version that their brother was a terrorist and participated in the seizure of a school in Beslan. "He would never do something like that for some idea or money," said Marina Parchieva.
Documents on the complete match of DNA, both women signed.
Recall that only 14 years after the tragedy, in December 2018, the presidential envoy to the North Caucasus Federal District announced the first official recognition since the terrorist attack that the storming of the school was planned from the beginning, despite the protests of local residents. The presidential envoy also confirmed that the school was fired from a tank.
In 2019, on the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attack, the book Outpost. Beslan and Its Hostages was published, written by Olga Allenova, a journalist for the Kommersant publication. The author then told the "Caucasian Knot" blogger Alan Tskhurbaev that this is a book about a tragedy that is still "not lived through by our society, not comprehended, because there were and remain many lies about this terrorist attack," and therefore, "there is no hope that it won't happen again."
