What Memorial documented

The independent investigators recorded that Khava Gunasheva was shot from a passing armoured personnel carrier in a neighbouring courtyard. Her body was subsequently burned together with a house on the same day. The register cites her father’s testimony, the local burial list and a death-certificate record.

Limits of the evidence

The shooting and subsequent treatment of the body are described in Memorial’s testimony-based findings. The precise identity of the shooter was not established.
