10-year-old Tajik boy stabbed by Russian nationalist

As a result of an attack by a minor at a school in the Moscow region, a 10-year-old child from Tajikistan was killed.

In the village of Gorki-2 in the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region, on December 16, a 15-year-old ninth-grade student from an elite school, Timofey K., attacked students, killing one child and injuring a security guard and several other students.

The deceased schoolboy was 10 years old and was in the fourth grade. The victim was from a Tajik family, named Kobiljon A., and he died at the scene from his injuries.

It is reported that the mother of this Tajik boy worked as a cleaner at the school and, like other parents, was waiting for her son outside the school building after classes, but she was informed of her son’s death.

The minor attacker has been detained by the police.

Russian authorities have not yet provided official reasons for the crime committed. Meanwhile, media outlets, citing classmates of the suspect, report that he held racist views and openly proclaimed slogans justifying the death of Muslims, Jews, anti-fascists, and liberals.

During the attack, he was wearing a T-shirt with the inscription No Lives Matter. This is an organization that advocates for violence, terrorism, and the extermination of humanity. Video footage shows that before the attack, Timofey K. asked the question, “What is your nationality?”.

Photos of the deceased Tajik child were found on the schoolboy’s phone.

His phone also contained photos of him wearing a helmet with the inscription “Sygaown,” referencing a mass shooting in the U.S. in 2022.

Russian media report that in another selfie, the attacker is photographed in a bulletproof vest with the symbol of the “kolovrat,” which points to Brenton Tarrant, the terrorist who carried out a mass murder at Muslim mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.

In connection with the incident, Russian law enforcement agencies have opened a criminal case on charges of “murder” and “attempted murder.” The investigation is ongoing. At this time, comments from the family of the deceased are not available.
