his car.
42. On 8 August 2005 the investigators conducted a crime scene examination at the place of the abduction. No evidence was collected from the scene.
43. On 8 August 2005 the investigators questioned Ms P.M. who stated that at the material time she had been working in a kiosk located on the corner of Pobeda and Rabochaya Streets. However, she had not witnessed the abduction, but from her customers she had learnt that on 14 June 2004 a Chechen man, Tovsultanov, who had been an alleged member of illegal armed groups, had been arrested and taken away either by representatives of the ROVD or the representatives of the Security Service of the Chechen President and that the abductors had been wearing camouflage uniforms and had been driving two VAZ cars and a UAZ car.
44. On the same date the investigators questioned Ms A.A. and Mr I.A, employees from kiosks on the corner Pobeda and Rabochaya Streets, who stated that they had not witnessed the events.
45. On 10 August 2005 the ROVD informed the investigators that they had established that between 14 June 2004 and the present Said-Magamed Tovsultanov had not applied for medical help in the area and that his car had not been stopped at the local traffic police stations, and also that they had summoned the employees of the kiosks located in the vicinity of the place of the incident to be questioned by the investigators.
46. On 15 August 2005 the investigators requested the Achkhoy-Martan district prosecutor's office in Chechnya to take investigative steps to question relatives and neighbours of Said-Magamed Tovsultanov about the following: the reasons for his move from Chechnya to Ingushetia, how often he had visited Katar-Yurt, how he had earned his living, who his friends and enemies had been, whether his relatives had any theories concerning the reasons for his abduction and his possible whereabouts, whether they had been asked to pay a ransom for his release and what the results of their search for him had been.
47. On 16 August 2005 the investigators requested that the Ingushetia MVD inform them whether on 14 June 2004 a white VAZ car with registration number C897 ME06, or VAZ-21099 and UAZ cars carrying representatives of law-enforcement bodies had been registered in the registration logs as having passed through the "Volga-20" police checkpoint or any traffic police stations in Ingushetia. They also requested that the officers who had been on duty at the checkpoint on that date report to the district prosecutor's office for questioning.
48. On the same date the investigators examined the registration log of the vehicles passing through the "Volga-20" police checkpoint. The document was dated "from 4 June to 18 June 2004" and comprised 99 pages. As a result of the examination it was established that pages 70 to 74 contained information concerning the passage of cars through the checkpoint on 14 June 2004:
"...page 70 contains a handwritten note about the passage of a UAZ car with registration number A717 BK95, whose driver, Mr V.K., had produced his service identity document No. 121884... the note concerning this car is linked with a [note recording the] passage of a VAZ-21099 vehicle... no information about the latter car was recorded. This link provides grounds to presume that the two vehicles had moved through the checkpoint as a convoy and that therefore only the UAZ driver's name was noted..."
49. On 9 September 2005 the investigators wrote to the Achkhoy-Martan district prosecutor's office stating the following:
"...the preliminary investigation established that the abductors of S.-M. Tovsultanov had been driving a UAZ and a VAZ-21099 car.
During the examination of the registration log of the "Volga-20" checkpoint it was established that on 14 June 2004 at 7.16 two cars - a VAZ-21099 and a UAZ with registration number A717 B.../95 had pass
