A young man who had advertised the sale of a car in Tashkent murdered a customer to steal his money. Hayot Shamsutdinov, the press secretary of the General Prosecutor's Office, informed QALAMPIR.UZ about the incident.

The incident occurred on August 2, between 11 AM and 12 PM, on Poygoh Street in the Bektopi neighborhood of the Chilonzor district.

A man born in 2004 had placed an advertisement on an online trading platform to sell a Damas car. He met a man born in 1987 through the ad, initially taking $100 as an advance and ensuring that the 37-year-old customer had $4,500 to buy the car. On August 2, he attempted to murder the customer to steal the money.

As a result of the attack, the victim was injured.

"In this case, a criminal case has been initiated under Articles 25 (Preparation and attempt to commit a crime), 97 (Deliberate murder), and 164 (Robbery) of the Criminal Code. The suspect has been detained," stated Hayot Shamsutdinov.

It is also noted that a woman who lost money on Telegram committed suicide earlier.
