Said-Magomet Zubayev

Staropromyslovski victim record STA-K030 · HRW numbered entry 30

Recorded age: 47 · Date of death / discovery: Night of 20 January, found 21 January · Place: Zubayev family home, Grozny · Evidence status: Body observed among family dead

Documented circumstances

Said-Magomet was identified by Human Rights Watch as a nephew of Said Zubayev. Neighbours who had been sheltering with the family found his body in the courtyard on 21 January alongside seven relatives after a night of reported attacks. The house had been damaged by fire and there were tracks of an armoured vehicle in the yard.

Limits of the evidence

His exact individual time of death is not known from the investigation; it is attributed to the night preceding the discovery.

This memorial is based on the original Human Rights Watch witness investigation and its separately numbered list of 38 reported victims. It is not an independent criminal judgment. Where the source relies on a body discovery or secondhand report rather than an eyewitness to the shooting, that distinction is preserved. Missing surnames and photographs are not invented.
