                Three Dead After Huge Brawl in Russian Cemetery

   by VOA News

   Three people were killed and about two dozen were injured Saturday in a
   massive brawl at Moscow's largest cemetery, a battle that witnesses
   said centered on who has the right to work there.

   Local police said ethnic tensions were at play in the fight, which
   involved about 200 people, many brandishing baseball bats and iron rods
   as they walked into the melee. Video of the altercation was posted on
   social media.

   At least two of the dead are thought to have been Tajik nationals.

   The Russian TASS news agency reported that ethnic Chechens, Dagestanis
   and Uzbeks were also part of the fighting over who has the right to
   conduct burial services in the Khovanskoye cemetery in southwest
   Moscow.

   Police said at least 90 people were arrested.
