Drunk driver stabs a 47-year-old man in Tashkent

News spread on social media about a man who, after losing a game, stabbed an acquaintance in the yard of a billiard hall located in the Chinoz district of Tashkent region. To clarify the situation, QALAMPIR.UZ contacted Hayat Shamsutdinov, the press secretary of the General Prosecutor's Office.

Shamsutdinov reported that on September 10 at 10:00 p.m., a 47-year-old citizen, S.S., was brought to the Chinoz District Medical Association with a "stab wound in the upper right leg" and later died from his injuries.

It was discovered that at around 9:00 p.m., S.S. and his friend, B.G., born in 1976, were driving a Malibu car when they saw a Matiz car, driven by Kh.N., born in 1983, parked in the opposite direction with its headlights on. S.S. and B.G. exited their vehicle and asked Kh.N. why he was flashing his lights. Kh.N., who was intoxicated, responded insultingly, saying, "The street is mine, what are you doing?"

An altercation ensued, after which S.S. and his friend returned to their vehicle. However, Kh.N. followed them and stabbed S.S. once in the upper right thigh with a kitchen knife.

As a result, S.S. suffered severe blood loss due to an injury to his femoral artery and died while being transported to the hospital in an ambulance.

"A criminal case has been initiated against Kh.N. under Article 104 (Deliberate Grievous Bodily Harm), Part 3, Clause "d" of the Criminal Code. The suspect has been arrested under Article 221 of the Criminal Code," the report states.

We remind readers that earlier, in the Jizzakh region, a man stabbed his 36-year-old wife, who worked as a nurse in the intensive care unit of the district medical association, while she was at work.
