Police have established the circumstances of the murder of a 36-year-old man in the city of Khujand and detained suspects, according to the Tajik Ministry of Internal Affairs website.
According to the agency, on December 15, 2025, at approximately 3:30 PM, men aged 30 and 27, residents of Khujand and the Shahristan district, conspired to force the victim into an Opel Zafira belonging to the 30-year-old man and drive him to a secluded area in the 27th microdistrict of Khujand. There, the suspects assaulted the victim, after which the 30-year-old man stabbed him 13 times in the chest and 25 times in other vital organs.
After the victim's death, the perpetrators, in order to conceal the crime and avoid responsibility, took the body to the Navruzgokh recreation park and dumped it in the Syr Darya River.
A criminal case has been opened against the suspects under Part 2 of Article 104 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan. An investigation is currently underway.
