Epress.am -- In the Russian city of Yaroslavl, the second imam of the

local mosque, Artur Manukyan, 29, was found dead with four gunshot

wounds to his chest in his home on Nov. 9. A criminal case has been

launched under charges of murder.

 

As reported by Interfax news agency, investigators don't rule out the

possibility that the murder was committed on ethnic grounds and that

someone was hired to kill him.

 

Manukyan was appointed to the position of second imam in 2010. He

received his religious education at the Ulugh Beg Madrasa in Bukhara,

Uzbekistan. Manukyan's father is Armenia, but his mother is Tatar.

 

Note, this is the third murder of a Muslim cleric in the last two

months in central Russia. On the night of Sept. 18, also murdered in

his home was Abakar Kadi Magomedov, a member of the Muslim community

of Yaroslavl's central mosque. Then on Sept. 24, acting imam of the

Ivanovski mosque Fouad Rustamhodzhaev was shot just outside his home

as he was returning from the mosque.
