Imperfect crime

The court sentenced the former deputy chief of the police of Cherkessk Ruslan Rakhaev to 13 years in a maximum security colony, the Public Verdict Foundation reports . He is found guilty of beating the detainee to death. The fund is confident that Rakhaev did not commit this crime. Protection intends to appeal the verdict.

According to the prosecution, on October 7, 2011, Rakhaev ordered himself to be delivered to the office of the detainee on the eve of Dahira Dzhankinov, who at this moment was sentenced to administrative arrest for 10 days. The accusation claims that Rakhaev beat the detainee in order to obtain confessions, as a result of which Dzhanins died after half an hour.

The defendant, as well as his defense, claim that Janzov was beaten before he got into the office to Rakhaev, and the prosecution against him was falsified. The Public Verdict Foundation believes that police officers who performed the initial detention of Dzhankinzov and kept it in the stronghold for about 10 hours, created a joint circular alibi. Each of them claims that he personally did not beat the detainee and saw the rest, who also did not beat him. According to them, all damage was inflicted by Dzhankizov by their head Rakhaev half an hour before the death of the detainee.

The video shows that at the time of delivery to the Department of Internal Affairs, the detainee moved with difficulty. In the previously drawn up protocols, traces of beatings were noted. "The investigation on the protection of the reason incomprehensible to the side of protection ignored the recordings of video cameras and protocols, as well as the results of the first examination of the corpse, according to which Dzhankinzov found the beginning of the so-called" leukocyte shaft "in the tissues, which indicates that the damage caused by the death was received by Dzhankinov in a period of over 4-6 hours, but less than 20 hours. Thus, the investigation version that all available damage to the damage that all available damage They were inflicted on Dzhankizov half an hour before his death by the examination refuted, ”the public verdict reports.

After the incident, R. Rakhaev disappeared and was put on the federal wanted list. At the end of February 2012, he was detained in Kabardino-Balkaria, he was arrested.
