DUSHANBE, December 29, 2013, Asia-Plus – Tajik Embassy in Moscow is seriously concerned over the brutal killing of a Tajik national in Moscow.  Tajik authorities are demanding Russia find and punish the killers.

Mohammad Egamzod, a press secretary for the Tajik Embassy in Moscow, says the body of Tajik national Shojon Rahmatshoyev, 32, with multiple stab wounds was found in the General Antonov Street in the evening of December 26, at around 10:00 pm.

Russian media sources report Shojon Rahmatshoyev was attacked near his apartment, stabbed 25 times and had his throat cut.

The assailants reportedly did not take any money or valuables.

Rahmatshoyev’s body was reportedly impossible to identify immediately due to the severity of the assault.

People who worked with Shojon Rahmatshoyev at one construction site were able to identify his body the morning after the murder.

Criminal proceedings have been instituted and investigators suppose that the killing was committed by a group of radical ultra-nationalists.

Tajik Embassy in Dushanbe has reportedly prepared a note to the Russian MFA, in which it demands thorough investigation into the brutal killing of Tajik national, Egamzod said.
