The Tajik Ministry of Internal Affairs reports the arrest of two brothers in Shahritus, suspected of murdering their older brother.
According to law enforcement, during operational and investigative activities, police officers established that on December 23, 2025, at approximately 9:00 AM, four brothers, aged 40, 38, 35, and 11, residents of the Shahritus district, gathered to collect firewood. While intoxicated, a domestic dispute broke out between them around 3:00 PM.
Two brothers, aged 38 and 35, conspired to beat their older brother, a 40-year-old man, before hitting him twice on the head with a large stone. The man died at the scene.
To conceal the crime, the detainees buried the body at a depth of approximately 30 centimeters. Planning to take advantage of the neighbors' absence that night, they intended to dig up the body and bury it in the courtyard of a residential building, but were detained upon arriving at the scene.
A criminal case has been opened against the suspects under Part 2 of Article 104 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan. The investigation is ongoing.
