"In those days Grozny had few inhabitants, because heavy fighting for the control of the city was still raging and all of those, who were able, had left the city, leaving their dwellings and belongings.
In one of the houses, according to Vladimir, mercenaries came across a family of seven people. Adult men and women, as well as young men and two young children were immediately shot dead by the soldiers. Only a girl aged around 13-14 years, was left alive.
The house was looted, just as other close by houses, left by their owners, and then set ablaze. The girl was thrown into an APC and taken to their place of stationing, near the Zagryajsky settlement in Staropromyslovsky district.
Vladimir said that throughout the week, the girl was raped by officers of this unit. This took place every night, and often in day time too. Having tormented the child in abundance, commanders gave her to “kontraktniki” to be savaged.
What was done to her by these barbarians can’t be described by words. She was beaten and raped for hours daily by groups of savages. The girl used to lose consciousness often, and she was brought to her senses, by being poured upon with cold water.
After some days of continues torture she was almost dead. The girl could die any moment and therefore it was decided, as one mercenary said, to “use her for the last time with benefit for the cause”.
As Vladimir said, half dead, naked child was hung up by hands in one of the basements in such a way, that her feet barely reached the floor. Then, a detained young man was brought in. For a few days, the unfortunate young man was brutally beaten and tortured, with demands that he tells, where weapons are hidden, and that he shows them where the fighters were. However, he persistently kept quiet, despite sadistic torture from monstrous mercenaries. They would burn him with red-hot metal, stab and cut with knives, beat with clubs and heavy boots, but the young man would persistently reiterate that he doesn’t know anyone or anything, because he has come home just recently from Russia. Vladimir knew that neither this small girl, nor the detained young man, had any chances to survive this ordeal.
According to this soldier, he was ordered to bring the detained into the basement, where a group of mercenaries had gathered and where the girl was. Along the way, he whispered to the detainee, that he shouldn’t slander himself and warned him, that in any case he would not be let out alive. Young man, who was hardly standing, was brought into the basement, and positioned in front of the crucified girl.
Mercenaries again told him to say, where he had hidden the weapons, saying that otherwise they would harm the girl. He kept quiet. Then one of the mercenaries went up to the girl and cut off her breast with a knife. She screamed profoundly, and young man got deathly pale and tried to turn away from this terrible scene. However, he was cruelly beaten, and forced to look how by his “guilt” a girl was dying. Then, the same mercenary cut off the child’s second breast and she lost consciousness. Young man started to beg mercenaries to stop this barbarity and said, that he accidently saw how one of the locals had hidden a rifle in a rainwater pipe and named the place. This greatly amused the mercenaries.
Having said that “now we don’t need neither you nor her”, they started to finish off the dying girl. First they cut off her legs with an axe, then hands and when the body fell down, her head was cut off.
Parts of the body were put into a big bag, after which the young man was taken outside. They took him to a waste plot of land, tied him to a box of TNT, placed the bag with remains of the girl on top, and blew up both of them. The dead child and the young man."
