BBC NEWS | Europe | Beslan suspect pleads not guilty:"Mr Kulayev's thin, unshaven face was shown on Russian state television just hours after the end of the siege.
He narrowly avoided being lynched by local people after being discovered hiding underneath a lorry not far from the school.
Masked Russian commandos dragged him, shaking, before a camera, to which he repeatedly pleaded that he had killed no-one and that he wanted to live."
