The dismembered body of a murdered woman was found in Dagestan.

Police discovered the dismembered and charred body of 36-year-old Malvina Magomedova. Derbent resident Rajidin Yaraliev has been placed on suspicion of murder, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported. According to sources, the sale of a car was the motive for the quarrel and murder.

Police officers discovered the dismembered and charred remains of a woman on the outskirts of the village of Chukhverkent in the Suleiman-Stalsky District. These are the remains of 36-year-old Malvina Magomedova, a resident of the village of Dzhalgan, who disappeared on January 23, Gayana Gariyeva, head of the press service for the Dagestan Ministry of Internal Affairs, reported today on her Telegram channel "Crime Chronicle."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has placed 28-year-old Derbent resident Rajidin Yaraliev on suspicion of murder, according to another report. A video published on a Telegram channel shows construction debris, including black, blurry pieces.

According to Mash, shortly before the murder, Rajidin and Malvina entered into a nikkah, a Muslim wedding ceremony. Having received a Lada Priora as a dowry, he sold it without asking a resident of Grozny for 600,000 rubles.

Malvina filed a police report about the theft. That evening, Rajidin stopped by to "discuss the report." Six days later, the charred parts of her body were found in a village three kilometers from Derbent. According to family friends, the woman has three children from her first marriage.

"Caucasian Knot" has written about other high-profile cases of domestic violence in the North Caucasus. Among the most well-known is the case of former police officer Vadim Tekhov, who was found guilty in 2021 of murdering his ex-wife, Regina Gagieva. The court sentenced him to 16 years in prison, but in 2023, Gagieva's relatives welcomed Tekhov back to life in Vladikavkaz. In June, it was reported that Tekhov had been buried in Vladikavkaz—he died in the war zone in Ukraine, but his death was not related to the fighting.

Traditions and customs in most regions of the North Caucasus predispose women to domestic violence. Authorities consider physical abuse by husbands to be normal, and victims of violence are not prepared to go to the police, human rights activists previously explained to a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
