A transgender Muslim woman has been hacked to death in Russia days after marrying a man after her father pleaded on television: "Bring him here and kill him in front of my eyes".
Adam Aliev transitioned to 'Raina' after a sex change operation in Moscow, and was killed several days after a 'wedding' to a man called Viktor.
The killing took place after the 25-year-old's father Alimshaikh Aliev, who was very ashamed of his son's decision to change from a man to woman, had told a TV station: "Let him be killed, I don't want to see him. Bring him here and kill him in front of my eyes."
Raina had warned police about a murder threat, according to Russian media.
'The young man decided to change his sex because he wanted to marry the man he loved, Viktor from Karachaevo-Cherkessiya (another mainly Muslim region in southern Russia).' The wedding 'shocked' locals, reported Russian Dialog news site.
It was unclear where the killing took place but the victim's body was 'cut up' and unrecognisable to those who had known her. The circumstances of the killing have not been disclosed.
