Abkhazian militiamen returned the corpse of Lasha Okujava, 27, to the family. The young man was killed by the separatists yesterday in the village of Tagiloni. Secessionists have prevented UN observers from meeting with the family of the murdered youth.

Drunken Abkhaz militiamen intruded on Georgian families and ordered them to kneel. Okujava refused to do so and the attackers killed him in front of his parents.
Abkhazians have also opened a mobile checkpoint in Tagiloni. 15 gunmen have been patrolling in Gali district since the morning of today.
