"That's a dangerous country now. Political assassinations come day in, day out," he said in a Novosti interview. He suspects a tragedy connection with an upcoming presidential election in Kyrgyzstan.
Mr. Akayev described it as "an event worthy of the deepest regret after Kudarbenov's militia tamed a mob run havoc in the initial days of popular disturbances".
The militia was set up, March 24, when the popular unrest reached its peak, to protect the population of Bishkek, Kyrgyz capital, its government offices and strategic projects.
Usen Kudarbenov, movie stunt-rider and national celebrity, was found dead in his Bishkek home in the small hours today, with two Makarov pistol bullets through his head.
Yesterday, he and his riders were ousting squatters from several highland parks in the city's south outskirts.
Kyrgyzstan is no longer a law-abiding country, says Mr. Akayev. The new regime "has thrown the doors wide open for every issue to find settlement by force and violence.
"The men are reaping even now what they have sown. Defenders of people the new regime has wronged are standing in front of the Government House in Bishkek. "Thousand-strong crowds are gathering in many law courts to pronounce their own judgment.
"People with automatic guns are walking about parliament to represent criminal lobbies.
"The regime has opened all floodgates to violence. That's the most terrible about the present situation," said the overthrown president.
