Two police officers were killed in the town of Gudermes in the volatile Russian North Caucasus republic of Chechnya last night, a local police spokesman said on Saturday.

"Two bodies with gunshot wounds were found in a Toyota Camry car at 01:00 a.m. Moscow time [22:00 GMT Friday]," the spokesman said.

The bodies have been identified as police Sr. Lt. Myakhdi Khizriyev and police sergeant Myakhdi Kasumov.

The circumstances of the murder are being established.

Russia's North Caucasus republics, in particular Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia, have seen frequent attacks on police and officials this year despite the end of a decade-long special regime for counterterrorism operations in Chechnya six months ago.
