[KavkazUzel] Relatives of the man accused of murdering mullah Abdurakhim Gakaev said they were disgraced by the actions of their relative and expressed a desire to reconcile with the relatives of the deceased, as follows from the video recording of the gathering in the village of Komsomolskoye.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on January 14 it became known that the mullah from the village of Voskresenovskoye, Shelkovsky district of Chechnya, Abdurakhim Gakaev, was killed in front of his child. On January 15, a 30-year-old murder suspect was detained. The Telegram channel in opposition to the authorities of Chechnya reported that several months before the murder, the suspect recorded a video message in which he declared his fight against sorcerers, and asked to bring this message to Ramzan Kadyrov, from whom he tried to find understanding and protection. Relatives of a resident of Chechnya, suspected of murdering Gakaev, publicly asked for forgiveness from the relatives of the murdered man. The investigation reported today that a detained resident of Gudermes was charged with murder in the village of Voskresenovskoye, he pleaded guilty and was arrested.

According to one of the channels opposed to the authorities of Chechnya, a suspect in the murder of a mullah 10 years ago turned to a healer using alternative medicine methods in Dagestan. Five years later, he began to seek treatment for witchcraft and thus became the “patient” of a man whom he killed, deciding that he was also a sorcerer.

A video of the gathering in the village of Komsomolskoye was published today by the Telegram channel “ChP Grozny”. At least a hundred men are visible in the frame, with cars parked nearby. The man standing in the center reports that they gathered in Komsomolskoye “in connection with the tragedy in the Gakaev family, residents of this village, into whose house great grief came.”

“The other day, a video circulated on social networks where a young man kills Gakaev and comments that “this is a gift to you from our brother.” The killer’s relatives gathered here and asked us on their behalf to clarify the truth to the public. I am speaking today on their behalf and at their request, the following: these people swear in the name of Allah that the killer acted without their knowledge and consent. Before this incident, there had never been any cases or grounds for blood feud between them and representatives of the Gakaev family," the man says in Chechen in the video, whose words were translated by "Caucasian Knot".

The same man, who did not give his name, added that the words of the accused murderer about a “gift from his brother” had no basis, since the arrested person “has neither a brother nor a father.” "He had no basis for such a statement. If the public thinks that this is revenge, then this is not true. The relatives of the criminal gathered here say that they are disgraced by the actions of their relative and do not know what to do next. They admit that their man committed a grave crime, killing a peaceful person, and brought grief to his family. We have all gathered here today to go to the relatives of the murdered man and ask them for forgiveness for the criminal’s relatives who were not involved in the murder. We are recording this appeal in order to stop the flow of speculation that aggravates an already difficult situation,” the man explained.

The video is accompanied by the words: “Residents of Komsomolskoe gathered to go to Kadi-Yurt to visit the relatives of Gakaev Abdurakhim for reconciliation.”

The tradition of blood feud, which developed during the clan system to protect the honor and property of the clan, in the North Caucasus still operates as a relevant social mechanism. According to this custom, the relatives of the murdered person must take revenge on the killer or his relatives, says the “Caucasian Knot” certificate “ Blood feud - how they kill now in the Caucasus.”

In another video published today on the Telegram channel “ChP Grozny,” several hundred men are walking down the street, and in a third video, published there, the gathered men are praying. 

Caucasian experts and human rights activists interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" considered that the alleged killer of Gakaev looks like an unhealthy person who mistook a far-fetched motive for a guide to action. However, according to them, he appealed to the authorities of Chechnya with a similar motive of fighting against sorcerers. The crime is connected with the general atmosphere of cruelty that reigns in the republic, they stated.
