As a result of the continuation of investigative and operational measures by the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Security Service to solve crimes that remained unsolved in previous years, another serious crime committed under mysterious circumstances was revealed.

Thus, on November 18, 2010, although a criminal investigation was launched at Yasamal District Prosecutor’s Office about the death of Gurbat Abzarov, a resident of the capital, 8 days later in the hospital where he was diagnosed with a brain injury, the proceedings were suspended due to the impossibility of identifying the perpetrator. However, the criminal case was found out again and the Investigation Department of the Prosecutor General’s Office was instructed to continue the investigation. Investigative actions and search and operational measures carried out revealed that due to the fact that while in prison, Gurbat Abzarov, born in 1969, made insulting statements about Telman Majidov, born in 1964, who was serving his sentence at the same time with him, and his family members, after serving his sentence, on November 18, 2010, when meeting with the latter for revenge, during the dispute between them, Telman Majidov deliberately hit his head once with an iron rod, causing serious damage to his health. Gurbat Abzarov died at the hospital where he was being treated.

Based on the evidence gathered, Telman Majidov was charged under Article 126.3 of the Criminal Code (intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm resulting in the death of a victim) and remanded in custody.

Currently, investigative and operational measures on the criminal case is underway. The detection of crimes that remained unsolved in previous years is always in the centre of attention.
