KULOB, April 10, Asia-Plus — An accomplice of Mahmadali Hakimov, the resident of Khatlon’s Khovaling district, who shot to death his wife and brother-in-law and seriously wounded his mother-in-law from Kalashnikov, has been detained, the Kulob prosecutor Nasrullo Mahmoudov said in an interview with Asia-Plus.
He proved to be resident of Khatlon’s Vose district Shamsiddin Nasriddinov. “Nasriddinov was illegally keeping in his house Kalashnikov that was later used by Hakimov for killing of his relative,” the prosecutor said, adding Nasriddinov had been charged under the provisions of Article 195 of the Penal Code of Tajikistan [illegal keeping of weapons]
We will recall that Mahmadali Hakimov on April 1 shot at his wife, brother-in-law and mother-in-law from the sub-machine-gun Kalashnikov. As a result his wife and brother-in-law were killed and his mother-in-law got serious wounds and was taken to the central district hospital in Khovaling.

When police officers rounded up him and proposed to surrender, Hakimov shot himself from Kalashnikov.
