The brutal murder of a 4-year-old girl, Samira Mutsolgova, in Ingushetia was officially blamed on beatings, but medical evidence pointed to horrific sexual assault. In this episode, we uncover the shocking details of this case, where official silence sought to hide the "shame" of the crime. Even more disturbingly, the prime suspect, Bashir Vedzizhev—who was facing charges in the girl's death—was mysteriously released from pre-trial detention and sent directly to the front line (SMO).
