Gelani Babuev

Case SAM-1995-V017 · Memorial Appendix 3, entry 17

Original Cyrillic: Бабуев Гелани Билалович · Born: 1970 · Recorded death: 7 April 1995 · Location: Family courtyard on Ordzhonikidze Street

Documented circumstances

Memorial attributes Gelani Babuev’s death to an artillery shell that exploded on the roof of the family house.

Related family record: Kulay Babueva — his mother, wounded the following day and died weeks later. The relationship and the sequence of deaths are documented in Memorial’s section on civilian casualties; the entries remain separately numbered in its appendix.

Source verification

Evidence recorded by Memorial: Father’s testimony; death certificate no. 54. The source is the 1995 Memorial Samashki investigation, Appendix 3, no. 17.

Limits and editorial note

The source does not identify who fired the shell. Kulay Babueva, recorded in the next entry, was wounded in the same household.

The present text reports findings and witness accounts gathered by Memorial. It is not a judicial finding of an individual’s criminal responsibility. Romanization is editorial; where the source is inconclusive, no details have been invented.
