Bei-Alla and Musa Tsechoyev

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ingush brothers, Musa and Bei-Alla Tsechoyev were identified as two of the hostagetakers in the 2004 Beslan school hostage crisis.

Musa, 35 at the time of the attack, owned the GAZ-66 that the hostagetakers drove to the school. After the attacks, 16-year old neighbour Marina Korigova was arrested on suspicion of being involved, after her phone number was found in a cellphone believed to belong to the hostagetakers - authorities alleged that her own phone showed she had phoned Musa 16 times. She was later released. [1]

Bei-Alla, 31 at the time of the attack, had a prior conviction for possessing illegal firearms. His body was identified in November 2004.

A third alleged brother, 25-year old Hussein, was interviewed by The Guardian's Nick Paton Walsh, as well as their uncle Magomed. [2]
