Two paramedics have been shot dead by the grandfather of a
teenage girl who died of undiagnosed meningitis in Russia, it was claimed
today. Bekir Nebiev, 55, took a hunting rifle and drove to the ambulance
station in the Crimean capital of Simferopol where he opened fire on a crew,
killing two female workers and injuring a man.
He shot paramedic Irina Sukhanik, 30, in the heart and she
died on the spot. Nurse Tatiana Katkova, 55, was hit in the stomach and died later
on the way to the hospital. Paramedic Vladimir Slanchak, 42, was seriously
wounded after bullets hit him in the head and neck.
A regular patient himself, it is claimed that he was also
seeking revenge for his own care from the ambulance service concerning his
heart condition.
He left his a cardiogram printout at the murder scene with
the words scrawled: 'This is revenge. It crushed my chest.'
Another nurse, named Olga Zvonnik, was hit in the shoulder,
but assisted police by identifying the attacker.
Local reports said that the man was angry over the death of
his 16 year old relative three weeks ago, believed to be his granddaughter -
which followed an ambulance crew visiting her at home when she had a high
temperature, and also about his own treatment.
Paramedics told the girl's family that hospital treatment
was not necessary. But she soon had convulsions and died.
The cause was identified as meningitis. Police were today investigating
the girl's death. However, the ambulance crew he shot was from a different
station than those dealing with his relative.
It also emerged that on the day of the shooting, he had
called for an ambulance, but it had been slow arriving. Ambulance staff said he
frequently called them out simply to check his blood pressure.
He left home in his Soviet-era Moskvich car with his gun and
200,000 roubles, his life's savings of £2000 and yet to be found. Police guards have been placed on all medical
facilities around Simferopol.
