According to Asia-Plus, during the trial, Madinai Ahmad was found guilty under Article 110, Part 3 (“intentional infliction of serious harm to health”) of the Criminal Code of Tajikistan and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

On May 27, Madinai Ahmad, born in 1995, temporarily living in Bokhtar in a rented apartment, beat second-grade student Ziyodullo Rozikov. Ziyodullo was the nephew of Madina’s future husband, and at his request, she was taking care of the child.

Madina stated during the interrogation that she beat the child with a men’s belt because she suspected that Ziyodullo had stolen 200 somoni from her wallet.

As a result of the beating, the child became unwell, and Madina called for an ambulance herself, but Ziyodullo died on the way to the hospital.

Madinai Ahmad, a graduate of Bokhtar State University, worked as an assistant director at school No. 8, where Ziyodullo Rozikov also studied, before her arrest.
