Documented circumstances

Adlob-Vakhab Akhmetov lived at Sharipova Street in Samashki, where Memorial documented his death on 8 April 1995.

According to the recorded witnesses, Akhmetov was shot near the garage in his own courtyard. His son, neighbours and other village residents contributed information. Memorial lists a death-certificate reference and the village funeral register. Other victims lived or died at the same address, but the available register alone should not be used to infer all of their precise family relationships.
