Moscow attack suspects’ neighbours say one was a violent drunk and another was a successful barber… as terror family of father and sons are hauled into court charged with assisting the ‘ISIS’ killers

Neighbours of the suspected Crocus City Hall killers have revealed that one member of the group was a violent drunk, while another had a budding career as a successful barber. 

The revelations come as a father and his two sons were hauled in front of Moscow court on suspicion of providing the terrorists with vehicles and logistical support ahead of their slaughter of at least 139 concertgoers.

Shamsidin Fariduni, one of four shooters detained by Moscow’s security services and the man thought to have recruited the family to aid his nefarious plans, allegedly threatened to attack a dog walker in a drunken fit of rage last year.

According to a resident of Podolsk, near Moscow, a drunken Fariduni once nearly ran her over as she was walking her dog, and began screaming at her.

The resident, who asked to remain anonymous, told Lenta that the 25-year-old drove up to her and ‘began talking right away, asking what the dog’s name was’. 

‘I saw that he was completely drunk, and I answered him. I went around the car to continue walking on the other side and he drove right up to my legs,’ she said, adding that Fariduni then began swearing at her and threatened to assault her.

The resident claimed she contacted the police to report her concern about Fariduni, a married father-of-one, but said officers never got back to her. 

By contrast, the youngest terrorist, 19-year-old Muhammadsobir Faizov, was described as a successful barber by neighbours who reported he worked in various high-end salons and had built a group of regular clients in the city of Ivanovo northeast of Moscow.

Ivanovo residents living in a five-storey block of flats where Faizov was staying described the teenager as a ‘calm’ person and a hard worker who often worked seven days a week, but generally kept himself to himself and did not speak Russian fluently. 

Meanwhile, Yamina Safieva, the owner of one barbershop that employed Faizov, insisted in comments to RT that the teen did not arouse suspicion and was a good worker.

But she is now the target of threatening messages after her former employee was arrested in connection with the heinous attack in Moscow. 

‘We are inundated with terrible messages, people wishing for death, calling me,’ she said.

‘I’m pregnant, I don’t know what to do. I’m afraid to go outside.’

Russian news site Lenta this morning also reported that Faizov appeared to have shown some remorse for the attack, citing a post shared on a private social media profile that read ‘I made a mistake, I apologize to everyone Crokys siti Hall’. MailOnline was unable to verify the post. 

A third shooter, 32-year-old Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, is said to have been a keen amateur wrestler and often trained at a Mixed Martial Arts gym in the city of Novosibirsk.

Mirzoyev, a taxi driver who is believed to have purchased the car used in the attack from a member of the family detained yesterday by Russian authorities, was registered on a temporary visa in Novosibirsk until January but had been living under an expired residency permit since then.

‘(Mirzoyev) lived with me in the same microdistrict, the Zatulinsky residential area (of Novosibirsk). I also went to the Zeus sports club for MMA,’ one anonymous member of the gym told Lenta, before insisting: ‘Personally, I didn’t know him, of course.’

The revelations come as Isroil Islomov, 62, and sons Aminchon and Dilovar appeared in Moscow’s Basmanny district court last night, having been arrested on suspicion of helping the shooters orchestrate their deadly attack.

Dilovar was named as the latest owner of the white Renault which the terrorists drove to the concert venue before mowing down hundreds of defenceless civilians with automatic weapons. 

All three members of the family from Tajikistan worked as taxi and bus drivers and had a good knowledge of transport routes in and around the venue. 

Aminchon, who has seven children from two marriages at the age of just 33, is believed to have been recruited by shooter Fariduni in January and helped the crew to plan their attack.

Dilovar, 25, is then said to have been brought into the terrorist fold earlier this month and provided the car the terrorists used to travel to the Crocus City Hall, and subsequently make their ill-fated escape.   

Both sons are accused of aiding and abetting the terrorists, while father Isroil is being held as a suspect. 

All three have been detained for two months while investigations continue along with a fourth detainee, Kyrgyz citizen Alisher Kasimov, who was charged with renting an apartment to the men accused of carrying out the attack. 

Their arrest comes as Russia’s Health Minister declared 22 victims of the concert hall attack remain in serious condition in the hospital, with the death toll at 139 and counting.

Two of the victims in serious condition are children, Minister Mikhail Murashko said, one of whom was run over by Mirzoyev as the terrorists fled the scene of their heinous crimes.

The Friday night attack on the Crocus City Hall music venue on Moscow’s western outskirts was one of the deadliest in Russia in years and left more than 180 people injured. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared yesterday that the gunmen are ‘radical Islamists,’ but repeated his accusation that Ukraine could have played a role, despite mounting evidence pointing to the involvement of Islamic State affiliate ISIS-K. 

Kyiv has strongly denied any link to the attack.

Two days after ISIS-K claimed responsibility, Putin acknowledged during a meeting with government officials that the killings were carried out by extremists ‘whose ideology the Islamic world has been fighting for centuries’, but said investigators haven’t determined who ordered the attack.

He also asserted that ‘the terrorists after committing their crime tried to flee to Ukraine,’ suggesting Kyiv had organised a ‘window’ for them to transfer across the border.
