Prosecutor’s office employee drove Mehrohn Noibov to suicide

Mehrona Noibova disappeared on April 4 from the resort “Chorchaman” in the Darvoz district. She was resting there with friends, among whom were two employees of the prosecutor’s office. Later, the girl’s body was found on the banks of the Panj River.

According to Radio Ozodi, citing its sources, prosecutor’s investigator Firuz Saidzoda, who was among the friends of the 23-year-old girl at the resort, has been found guilty of driving her to suicide. The man has been detained, and a criminal case has been initiated against him under Article 109 (driving to suicide) of the Criminal Code of Tajikistan. It is not specified how exactly the prosecutor’s investigator drove the girl to suicide.

On April 17, Mehrona Noibova’s relatives reported that “the relatives do not believe in the version of suicide, however, they are being pressured to accept this version and sign the case materials.”

After the case became public and caused a resonance, on April 7 of this year, the prosecutor’s office suspended the two employees from their positions. According to sources close to the investigation, at that time the testimonies of these two were contradictory and raised doubts among the investigators. In their testimonies, the suspects initially said that the girl slipped and fell into the river, but later claimed that she committed suicide.

Although the prosecutor’s office officially confirmed the version of suicide, the relatives of the deceased claim that the girl showed no signs of dissatisfaction or despair that could have led her to suicide. Additionally, it is reported that Mehrona had a small sick child, and she was constantly engaged in his treatment, which also casts doubt on the official version of suicide.

The girl’s relatives say they doubt the fairness of the investigation and believe that the authorities are hiding the true circumstances of the case.

Salehmo, the older sister of the deceased, told Radio Ozodi that her sister worked as a dancer at one of the restaurants in Dushanbe at night and was trying to raise money for her son’s treatment. She was married twice but later divorced. According to Salehmo, recently Mehrona was in a relationship with prosecutor’s investigator Firuz Saidzoda. She also went to the resort “Chorchaman” in the Darvoz district at his invitation, along with several other girls.

It is reported that the case is currently being investigated by the prosecutor’s office of the Sino district as a suicide. Meanwhile, the relatives claim that they are being pressured to accept the officially confirmed version. Their complaints have not yet been taken into account.
