A transgender Muslim woman has been hacked to death in Russia days after marrying a man after her father pleaded on television: ‘Bring him here and kill him in front of my eyes’.
Daily Mail reports that 25-year-old Adam Aliev became Raina after a sex change operation in Moscow, and was killed several days after a ‘wedding’ to a man called Viktor and the killing took place after the ‘s father Alimshaikh Aliev had told a TV station:
‘Let him be killed, I don’t want to see him. Bring him here and kill him in front of my eyes.’
Raina had warned police about a murder threat, according to Russian media. It was unclear where the killing took place but the victim’s body was ‘cut up’ and unrecognizable to those who had known her.
The victim was from an ethnic Chechen family living in Dagestan, a Muslim region between the Caspian Sea and Chechnya in the Russian Trans-Caucasus, it was reported.
Following sex change surgery in Moscow around a month ago, a wedding ceremony was held and the murder took place several days later, according to reports. The circumstances of the killing have not been disclosed.
‘He was hated for his non-traditional sexual orientation and when he changed his sex he was damned and received threats,’ stated Ren TV.
