Human Rights Watch identified Saparbek Yevloyev as the nephew of Abukar Yevloyev. Both were found shot dead in the family courtyard after gunfire was heard at the house on 22 December 1999. Their bodies were moved into the home pending burial, but the house later caught fire before family members were able to recover the remains.
