DUSHANBE, August 1, 2014, Asia-Plus — The Supreme Court has reversed the sentence against a jailed hairdresser, who had his sentenced extended to a 30-year prison term for stabbing a prison warden to death with scissors, and remitted the case for further examination, Habibullo Amirbekzoda, the head of the Supreme Court’s office, told Asia-Plus in an interview on August 1.
According to him, the Supreme Court considers the sentence for Umed Teshayev, who foully killed Colonel Umar Qayumov, too mild. “Teshayev’s case has been remitted for further inquiry,” Amirbekzoda said.
We will recall that the jailed hairdresser Umed Teshayev had his sentence extended to a 30-year prison term for stabbing the prison warden Umar Qayumov to death. Teshayev was found guilty of murder and sentenced on April 8, 2014.
In February this year, the 65-year-old warden, Colonel Umar Qayumov, asked the prisoner to come to his office to cut his hair. Teshayev then used his scissors to stab Qayumov once in the head and then at least 16 times in his body. The official died before reaching hospital.
The 30-year-old prisoner had worked as a hairdresser before being sentenced last year to 17 ½ years in jail for stabbing the 50-year-old Abdurasoul Aliyev to death with straight razor in his hairdressing salon on August 31, 2013.
