Killed by colonel Budanov

Budanov in 2003 was convicted for the murder of Chechen woman Kungaeva, but he left early. Kadyrov called Budanov an enemy of the Chechen people. The investigation believes that the murder of Budanov is a provocation, and it is premature to talk about the involvement of ethnic groups.
The crime was committed at No. XXUMX at about noon: an unknown person shot Budanov in the head with a pistol, after which he disappeared on a white Mitsubishi Lancer. According to eyewitnesses, the offender was wearing a blue jacket with a hood. To search for the shooter in the capital, a special plan "Interception" was introduced.
At the scene of the murder on Komsomolsky Prospekt, investigators and forensic officers of the Main Investigative Board in Moscow work.
According to operatives, the crime is a custom character.
The operatives have already seized the recordings of video surveillance cameras at the site. They expect to find the moment of the murder on the records, and further to identify the killer.
The murder was committed in the park between two houses, near the playground. At the same time, a few hundred meters from the crime scene, on Dovator Street, a car was found, on which, as investigators suspect, the killers hid. The car is examined by experts and a dog handler.
In turn, the official representative of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Vladimir Markin, said that in connection with the murder of Budanov, the 2 article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Murder") and the 222 article ("Illicit trafficking weapons")." The investigation does not exclude that the murder of Budanov was carefully planned, the victims may have been monitored, "Markin also said.
He later added that the investigation does not exclude that this murder is a provocation, and so far nothing is known about the participation of ethnic groups.
“Considering Budanov’s personality, the investigation does not exclude that the murder was committed for provocative purposes. In addition, it’s premature to say that ethnic groups could be behind this murder. The investigation doesn’t have any information confirming such a version” - said Markin.
Recall Budanov in 2003 was sentenced to 10 for years for kidnapping and killing 18-year-old Chechen woman Elza Kungaeva, he was released on parole in 2009. Immediately after Budanov’s release, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, called this decision shameful, and the colonel himself was an enemy of the Chechen people. "We do not tolerate insults," Kadyrov said at the time and added that he would use all legal means at his disposal to ensure that Budanov "received what he deserved."
How did the case of Budanov's murder of Chechen woman Elzy Kungaeva evolve
Yuri Dmitrievich Budanov was born on November 24, 1963 in the city of Khartsyz, Donetsk region, Ukrainian SSR. In 1987 he graduated from Kharkov Guards Higher tank command school to them.

Since September, 1999, together with the regiment, took part in hostilities in the territory of the Chechen Republic. In January, 2000 was awarded the Order of Courage and received (prematurely) the rank of colonel.
30 March 2000 Yury Budanov was arrested by officers of the military prosecutor’s office on charges of abduction, rape and murder of 18-year-old Chechen woman Elza Kungaeva. During the investigation, Budanov testified that, considering a resident of the village of Tangshi-Chu, Kungayeva was a sniper of one of the gangs, ordered subordinates to take the girl to the regiment, and then - during interrogation - strangled her, because Kungaeva allegedly resisted and tried to seize the weapon. Subsequently, Budanov, without denying the fact of the murder, insisted that he acted in the heat of passion.
28 February 2001 of the year in the North Caucasus District Military Court (Rostov-on-Don) began the trial of Budanov, who was charged with crimes under articles 126 (kidnapping), 105 (murder) and 286 (abuse of power) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
In July, 2001, the North Caucasian District Military Court announced a break in court hearings in connection with the psychiatric examination of Budanov at the State Scientific Center for Social and Forensic Psychiatry.

17 May 2004 Budanov filed a petition for clemency addressed to the Russian President, but 19 May withdrew him. The reason for the recall was the uncertainty about the citizenship of Budanov, since he was called up to the USSR Armed Forces as early as 1982 from the Ukrainian SSR (May 21, 2004, Budanov was given a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation).
15 September 2004 The Ulyanovsk regional pardon commission satisfied Budanov’s new pardon, but this decision led to protests from the Chechen public, as well as a statement by the head of the Chechen government, Ramzan Kadyrov, that “we will find an opportunity to pay him back merit ", and on September 21 the convict was forced to withdraw the petition.
