Gunmen in black uniform killed a woman in the village of Oyskhara, Chechnya's Gudermes district, on the night of May 30-31. Four people in camouflage uniform arrived at the village in a car late at night. They all were in a state of intoxication. When they arrived at the village, they continued to drink up alcoholic drinks cursing loudly. When a local woman rebuked them, one of the men fired several shot in her direction. The woman died from wounds at the scene. The murderers escaped in their car in an unknown direction.
