Moscow concert terrorists 'were tortured by neo-Nazi Russian officer': Soldier who cut off killer's ear 'wore patch supporting far-right group'

The ISIS terrorist who had his ear cut off and forced fed to him was tortured by Russian military officers who wore patches linked with neo-Nazi ideaology. 

Terror suspect Saidakrami Murodalii Rachabalizoda, one of four men accused of killing nearly 140 people at a concert in Moscow on Friday, was caught and tortured by Russian authorities trying to flee Russia after helping carry out the deadliest ISIS attack against Russia in years. 

But photos shared to Nazi-linked Telegram channels have revealed that the military officer who apparently cut his ear off and tried to force him to eat it wore a variant of a Black Sun patch. 

A photo shared to Nazi-linked Telegram channel 'TopaZ Says' shows a Russian soldier holding a short, bloodied knife that appears to match the knife used to slice off Rachabalizoda's ear, in footage too gruesome for MailOnline to share. 

The knife can be seen next to a partially obscured gold-and-black patch. While the centre is obscured by a young man's smiling face, the offshoots of the patch are still visible. 

The patch appears to denote a variant of the Black Sun.

The Black Sun, according to the Anti-Defamation League, has been used by neo-Nazis and other white supremacists as a symbol, after it was used in Nazi Germany by Adolf Hitler's brownshirts, the SS and the Nazi Party at large. 

It was first used in a castle owned by Heinrich Himmler that was used as a central hub for the SS. 

Russian authorities have brutalised the four suspects of the Moscow massacre, after they were all captured over the weekend. 

Two of them have so far pleaded guilty to terrorism after all four were charged. 

While ISIS has twice claimed responsibility for the attack, Russian authorities tried to discredit the direct claims made by the terror group, instead appearing to blame the attack on the West, after it emerged that the US tried to warn Russia about the massacre weeks before it happened.

In a piece published in Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova called ISIS' claims of responsibility into question.

'Attention - a question to the White House: Are you sure it's ISIS? Might you think again about that', she wrote.

Zakharova said the United States was spreading a version of the 'bogeyman' of Islamic State to cover its 'wards' in Kyiv and reminded readers that Washington supported the 'mujahideen' fighters who fought Soviet forces in the 1980s.

President Vladimir Putin has not publicly mentioned the Islamist militant group in connection with the attackers, who he said had been trying to escape to Ukraine.

Putin said some people on 'the Ukrainian side' had been prepared to spirit the gunmen across the border. Ukraine has denied any role in the attack and President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has accused Putin of seeking to divert blame for the concert hall attack by referring to Ukraine.
