Man in Russia’s Dagestan shoots ex-wife and daughter dead at cafe where they worked, says they ‘disgraced the family’
The Dagestan branch of Russia’s Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case against a local resident over a double murder at a cafe in Khasavyurt.
A local resident in Russia's Dagestan shot his ex-wife and daughter dead at a cafe where they worked, claiming they had "disgraced the family," according to investigators. The gunman, 46-year-old Aliaskhab, fired several shots at the two women over "sudden personal hostility," resulting in their deaths. The daughter, who was 23, later succumbed to her injuries in the hospital.
He believed the women had brought shame upon the family and had demanded that his ex-wife resign from her job and focus on raising their five minor children. A dispute over visitation arrangements for the couple's children after their divorce allegedly sparked the conflict. The gunman, who has been detained, faces charges under Part 2 of Article 105 of Russia's Criminal Code for the murders.
