Georgia’s former security chief and wife found shot dead

22:53 / 14.11.2009 Georgia’s Rustavi-2 television network showed Tamaz Ninua who served as Georgia’s state security minister under its first post-Soviet president has been found dead with gunshot wounds.
The television says the bodies of Tamaz Ninua and his wife were found Friday in their apartment in the capital of Tbilisi. It says both had been shot more than once and apparently died Thursday.
Police declined to comment.
Ninua served briefly as state security minister and later as deputy minister under Zviad Gamsakhurdia amid the turbulence of the Soviet collapse. Gamsakhurdia was elected president in June 1991, but fled Georgia in the face of uprising weeks after the Soviet Union disintegrated in December of that year. He returned to lead a failed revolt in 1993 and died under mysterious circumstances.
