Valin Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 CBS News: 5/31/13 (CBS News) The FBI is reviewing the death of Ibragim Todashev, the Chechen immigrant killed last week in Orlando, Fla., during a standoff with an FBI agent and a Massachusetts state police officer. The incident that has sparked accusations from Todashev's family that the killing was unjustified. Thursday, Todashev's father held a news conference in Moscow and asserted that his son's death amounted to an "execution-style" killing at the hands of U.S. agents and accused the FBI of shooting his son at least six times, once in the back of his head. Todashev's wife, Reni Manukyan, also spoke out this week, questioning the FBI's explanation of the apparent shot in the head and calling for an independent review of the incident. "It's the way how they are saying he was protecting himself, that it was self-defense from the FBI agent," she said. "I don't think it is self-defense, you would not have shot him on the top of his head. It just cannot be true." Todashev was being questioned about his connections to Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bomb suspects who once trained with Todashev at a Boston-area boxing gym. Todashev, 27, was never connected to the Boston bombing but according to sources, he confessed to a separate triple homicide allegedly committed with Tsarnaev in Waltham, Massachusetts in 2011.

My default position is to believe the cops....unless there is good solid reasons not to. We could be looking at a case of suicide by cop....or not.
