Gang slays four in Baku

16 April 2008 22:03 (UTC+04:00)

A series of chilling murders were committed in the center of Baku on Tuesday morning.
A criminal group entered an apartment in the Narimanov district, killing the residents and burning the dead bodies in a single room afterwards. The victims included a woman, her two daughters and seven-year-old grandson.
According to preliminary estimates, the murders were perpetrated with the aim to rob the hosts, although the incident was initially reported as a fire. Investigators who arrived at the scene made the conclusion after seeing things scattered around the apartment rooms.
It is not ruled out that the criminals had tortured the residents to find out the location of valuables in the household. Investigators have yet to ascertain which items were stolen.
The owners were presumably involved in buying and selling apartments in newly-constructed buildings.
