Former UFC fighter Abdul-Kerim Edilov has died at the age of 31. This is reported by the sports media. Edilov is also known as the former coach of Kadyrov's children, in particular Adam. In addition, the athlete served as deputy chairman of the government of the Chechen Republic. However, in November 2022, he was removed from his post.
Earlier, the Chechen opposition Telegram channel NIYSO wrote that Edilov is connected with the bodyguard of Kadyrov Jr. and an accident in which three people died, the human rights project Vayfond reported about it.
“Reliable sources from the Chechen Republic have reported that Adam Kadyrov (son of Ramzan Kadyrov) was involved in an accident in which two people died through his fault,” Vayfond wrote. – In an attempt to cover up this incident, Adam was put into a security guard's car to hide him from the scene, where he then killed another person at the crossing. This information has not yet been voiced on official resources and on Grozny television, a criminal case against Adam Kadyrov has not yet been initiated, and no investigation is underway.”
According to NIYSO, the security guard in question is known by the nickname Bars. He, presumably, also died, according to the Chechen channel.
“One thing we know for sure is that the Edilov case is connected with Bars, whose execution on the orders of Kadyrov we reported earlier. They did or tried to do something so serious that Bars, who was in the protection of Kadyrov's children, was immediately killed, and Edilov was left alive, because he is too media-oriented, ”the Chechen Telegram channel reports.
