Award-winning human rights campaigner murdered in Chechnya
Natalia Estemirova found shot dead after being abducted outside her home
"One of Russia's leading human rights campaigners was abducted and murdered today in the turbulent Chechnya region, in a killing that is likely to provoke international outrage and condemnation of the Kremlin's dismal human rights record.
Natalia Estemirova was pushed into a car by several unknown assailants as she left for work at 8.30am local time, according to her colleague Yekaterina Sokiryanskaya.
Russian news agency Interfax reported this afternoon that Estemirova's body had been discovered near the neighbouring region of Ingushetia. She was found with two close-range bullet wounds to her head, police said".

She must have been terrified the last few moments of her life.
IRONSIDE
She must have been close to a few home truths. Fuck those that murdered her and bless their unfortunate offspring. I have no time for the kind of scum which perform such acts.
