According to her, on this day, Timur had to fetch her by car after
work. At 1:00 pm Oksana called her husband, but his phone was
switched off. None of the relatives saw Timur that day and did not

found out that his name was Arsen). He asked to come to Novolak
village on Lenin Street and to bring 50,000 rubles.
Taking money the relatives in three cars drove to Novolak. However,

interlocutor and went to the Novolaksky police department. They were
told that Timur was not there. Relatives went to look for him to
Khasavyurt police department, but Timur was not there either. They
returned home at 4 am.
On March 26 Timur's mother phoned the telephone number from which
her son called. Arsen replied and invited her for negotiations with

deceived, and did not go anywhere. When the mother called again,
Arsen told her that Timur was taken by police that was called by
living in the neighborhood district Gadzhimurad Akayev. Arsene did
not elaborate where Timur was taken. On the same day on the fact of
the disappearance of her husband, Oksana wrote a statement to the

On March 27 Danilin’s relatives went to the FSS in Khasavyurt, where

religion of Timur, his connections with the members of illegal armed
groups. Relatives told him that Timur did not relate himself to any
religion, worked as a cab driver. Relatives told him about the calls
of Arsene. Manatee instructed his colleague Zakir to go along with
the relatives to Novolak and find Arsen. When they met with Arsene
at his home, he said that on March 25 he saw Timur in his garden. He
said he was carrying clients. He was hit on the head, taken his
phone and the car was stolen. He did not know where he was. Arsen
told him that he was in Novolak and gave him a phone to call.
Arsen denied that asked the family of Timur to bring money to the
meeting. He reiterated what he said on March 26 to the mother of
Timur: neighbor called the police and Timur was taken away, he does
not know where. This information was confirmed by witnesses -
neighbors of Arsen.
