A murder of another Chechen two hours ago, this time in Austria. Sources tell me the victim was another Kadyrov critic. Motive unconfirmed yet, stay tuned. .

Unconfirmed report that the killer was captured after a manhunt for a blue car. Killer is a Chechen residing in Linz.

More details coming in...pending confirmation: the victim - a former Kadyrov security officer who had been entrusted with political murders, but turned renegade when he warned Adam Osmaev and Amina Aboueva, living in Ukraine, that they are next on the kill list.

In an interview, the victim Mamihan Umarov (known as Anzar), had said he had been offered $2 m to kill Osmaev, his wife and a Ukrainian MP who had shot a pistol round at a Kadyrov's portrait. The contract came from Delimhanov, Kadyrov's right-hand man and Russian MP.

Last year, the victim (left) testified against Delimhanov and Kadyrov at a session with Ukrainian investigators held at the Ukrainian embassy in Vienna. Photo from the embassy, with target, MP Moseichuk (right)

Ukrainian security services then decided to play along with Kadyrov: they gave "Anzar" a candidate for the murder, a former Ukrainian officer who fought in Donbass, and who fit the profile. Anzar passed to Kadyrov's people the candidate name + "surveillance" videos of his targets

Anzar was able to even get Kadyrov's people to send an advance of 20k to buy weapons for the "Killer" - who even had to send his passport photo, and a wikipedia entry about him, for their approval. This way they ID'd Kadyrov's courier, living in Vienna.
