The mother-in-law of Guzyal Baidalinova, Galina said, that somebody rang at the door at 07.00 a.m. in the morning. Her neighbour asked them to open the door and cried, that they watered her. But, she knew, that her neighbour lived in the other porch and they could not water her.

Two men, who were worn in uniform of police officers and two other ones, who were worn in civilian clothes, first of all, they seized mobile phones (in particularly, including mobile phone of lawyer Inessa Kisileva) and then, computers. The search was continued within two hours. Journalists and spectators, in particularly, including president of foundation "Adil Soz" Tamara Kaleyeva, they failed to enter into porch or flat because of a policeman, who held the rank of Senior Lieutenant and stood at front door. He explained them, that they should not interfere to procedural actions.
