Natalya Alyakina-Mroszek was 40 years old when she was killed. While passing through an Army checkpoint in route to cover a mass hostage situation on July 29, 1994, Natalya Alyakina-Mroszek and the driver of the car were shot at by a Russian soldier. Her husband, Gisbert Mrozek was also present in the car but he was uninjured.
Alyakina-Mroszek died minutes later from a gun shot wound to the neck.
Immediately after the incident, a Russian judge ordered an investigation into premeditated murder. The Russian soldier was later found guilty of negligence in his use of his weapons, but a judge suspended his sentence as Chechen war participant.
