The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, promised 10 million rubles for information about the criminal.
“There have been no such incidents in the Chechen Republic for a long time. I declare with all responsibility that all law enforcement officers and residents of the republic will conduct a search for the killer. Raising a hand on our comrade will not escape punishment. It will be the most stringent! I made a decision to allocate a reward in the amount of 10 million rubles to the one who calls the killer and indicates his location. We will not allow anyone to shed the blood of police officers and residents of the republic with impunity, ”he wrote in his Instagram.
