He said, \"[The gravediggers] say there are 37 graves with two corpses in each. So, there must be [74] bodies altogether.\" RFE/RL later learned that the guide who led the correspondent to the site, a man in his late 50s named Juraboy, was stabbed to death by two unknown assailants. No further details were available. Andijon residents said that the mass grave in Bogishamol is only one of several such sites that appeared after 13 May. (RFE/RL)
