Suspect claimed woman “drove genies into him and they made his life terrible and did not let him sleep”

From Caucasian Knot

The police detained a man suspected of murdering a woman in Makhachkala. He explained that the woman had driven genies into him.

The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that in December 2020, journalist Vladimir Sevrinovsky posted a study on Islamic medicine clinics. In his study, the journalist reports that Islamic exorcists are very popular in Dagestan and Chechnya. They drive out genies and fight sorcerers who bedevil people. At the same time, they work with the support of local authorities.

The police detained a man suspected of murdering a 56-year-old woman. The suspect said that the deceased woman “drove genies into him and they made his life terrible and did not let him sleep,” the press service for the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of Dagestan reported.

“In a house in Makhachkala, the police found a body of a 56-year-old mistress with multiple knife wounds to various parts of the body,” the Dagestani MIA reports on its Instagram page.

Let us remind you that in the summer of 2019, the authorities of Chechnya, neighbouring Dagestan, intensified the persecution of people providing occult services. So, on December 19, 2020, the “Grozny” TV Channel broadcast a report in which two men repented of having addressed a sorcerer in Dagestan for help.

Despite the detention of “charlatans” in Chechnya and their public apologies, the people’s interest in the occult services in the republic does not fade away.
