Man arrested for hiring a “killer” to murder a relative
In the Samarkand region, individuals who planned to kill an acquaintance using a hired assassin have been detained, according to the regional police press service.
The suspect, born in 2002, reportedly sought a hired killer to murder an acquaintance living in Tashkent due to a personal dispute. During the operation, a conditional hitman was involved, and the suspect ordered the murder for $2,200.
On January 27, in Samarkand, the suspect was caught handing over $2,000 after taking a photo of the “victim,” and physical evidence was seized. It was later revealed that the head of an LLC, born in 1996, also participated in organizing the crime and was detained. He had ordered the murder of his relative.
A criminal case has been opened, and investigative actions are ongoing.
