Moscow massacre suspects tortured

Putin admits ‘Islamists’ carried out attack

- By Perkin Amalaraj and David Averre

THREE suspects in the Moscow concert hall terror attack have been filmed being tortured.

Shocking footage released by pro-regime social media accounts shows one having his ear cut off and another suffering electric shocks to his genitals.

officials have charged four men with the attack on Crocus City Hall on Friday that claimed at least 137 lives. An Islamic State group has claimed responsibi­lity for the atrocity and Vladimir Putin last night acknowledg­ed ‘radical Islamists’ carried it out.

However the Russian tyrant repeated his unproven claim that ukraine was also involved. And he suggested the attack was ‘just a link in a whole series of attempts by those who have been at war with our country since 2014 by the hands of the neo-Nazi Kyiv regime’.

In one of the videos released yesterday, soldiers and dogs chase a suspect – named as Saidakrami Murodali Rachabaliz­od – through a snowy forest before forcing him to the ground.

A soldier can be seen repeatedly punching him in the face while he screams at him.

Another clip shows a soldier

‘Foaming at the mouth’

appearing to slice off a part of Rachabaliz­od’s right ear before forcing him to eat it.

The alleged terrorist was pictured with a large bandage over the right side of his face when he appeared in court on Sunday.

Another image shared on social media channels shows a suspect named as Shamsuddin Fariddun foaming at the mouth as he lies on a gym floor with his trousers pulled down and wires attached to his groin.

The other ends of the wires are connected to a military radio powered by an 80-volt battery.

A third video released last night shows Russian soldiers hunting down a suspect who was trying to hide in a tree.

After they throw the man to the floor, the soldiers repeatedly smash his head against the ground as they question him.
