On April 20, the press center of the General Prosecutor’s Office of Tajikistan reported that the Sughd region court reviewed the case of a resident of the Chashmasor village in the Bobojon Gafurov district, Vakhobjon Norboevich Djangiziev, under Article 104, Part 2, Clause “d” of the Criminal Code of Tajikistan (murder of a woman in a state of pregnancy).

According to the source, on January 14, 2021, Vakhobjon Djangiziev’s wife, experiencing severe abdominal pain, asked him to call an ambulance and take her to the maternity hospital; however, the man decided to perform a “cesarean section” himself using a kitchen knife. It is noted that the man had neither experience nor skills to carry out such a complex operation.

According to the prosecution, around 4:20 AM, Djangiziev cut open his wife’s abdomen and extracted the baby, but it was dead. He was unable to provide the necessary assistance to his wife, and as a result, she also died.

The Sughd region court found Vakhobjon Djangiziev guilty of murdering his pregnant wife under Article 104, Part 2, Clause “d” of the Criminal Code of Tajikistan and sentenced him to twenty years in a high-security prison.

The opinion of the convicted Vakhobjon Djangiziev or his lawyer is not available to the media.
