DUSHANBE, June 14, 2013, Asia-Plus  -- Entrepreneurs from the northern Sughd province reportedly offer a reward for information on murder of an entrepreneur and his family in the Bobojonghafurov district.

Mahmadullo Asadulloyev, a spokesman for the Ministry of Interior (MoI), told Asia-Plus today that entrepreneurs from Sughd are offering a $30,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest in connection with the murder of Ahmadkhouja Boboyev and his family in the Bobojonghafurov district.

According to him, Interior Minister Ramazon Rahimov has taken this case under his personal control.

We will recall that unidentified assailants have killed all members of one family, including three minors, and seized approximately $30,000 worth of gold jewelries.  The incident took place overnight June 1-2 in the northern district of Bobojonghafurov.

Unidentified persons reportedly penetrated into the house of Ahmadkhouja Boboyev and shot him, his wife Hayotkhon Boboyeva and two children – Rukhshona Boboyeva, 16, and Suhrobjon Boboyev, 15 – to death from assault rifle Kalashnikov.  The assailants locked their six-year-old son Sanjarbek in a sauna.  They seized approximated US$30,000 worth of gold jewelries, set fire to the house and escaped.  The six-year-old Sanjarbek died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

By interior minister’s order a special group has been set up to investigate this crime.  An official source at the Interior Ministry’s office for the Sughd province says Ahmadkhouja Boboyev had been engaged in gold jewelry sales.
