Durdona Khokimova's boyfriend, Dılshod Akhrol Uglı T., stated in his testimony that he had a romantic relationship with Durdona, that they had an argument on the day of the incident, and that he first hit the victim on the head with an iron and then stabbed her to death.
Three suspects detained in connection with the murder of Durdona Khokimova, a citizen of Uzbekistan found dismembered in a trash container in Şişli, Istanbul, were transferred to the Istanbul Courthouse in Çağlayan after completing their procedures at the police station. It was learned that the suspects would begin their statement procedures at the courthouse.
On the evening of January 24, police teams arrived at the scene after receiving a report that a body wrapped in a sheet was found in a trash container on Kuyulubağ Street in the Duatepe neighborhood. They determined that the head and legs of the body had been severed and identified the body as belonging to 37-year-old Durdona Khokimova from Uzbekistan.

THE BUTCHER IS ALSO DETAINED
The suspect in the murder, Ugli T., and his friend Gofurjon Akmalkhonovich K., who assisted him, were processed at the Homicide Bureau, along with butcher Ekrem K., whom the young girl said she was going to visit when leaving the house. It was learned that the suspect used a very sharp knife during the incident, and the place where he disposed of the knife was recalled.
HERE IS THE POLICE STATEMENT OF THE MURDERER
As the three suspects were transferred to the Istanbul Courthouse in Çağlayan, the statement of Dılshod Akhrol Uglı T., Durdona Khokimova's boyfriend, emerged. Here is that statement:
"I came to Istanbul to live with Durdona. I came for Durdona. The person named Durdona is my girlfriend, and we have been in a relationship for 1 year. We met during a live broadcast on TikTok. Our first meeting was at a disco in Şirinevler. About 3 or 4 days after the disco, we went to a hotel together. After staying in Uzbekistan for about 6 months, I returned to Istanbul for Durdona. I knew Durdona by the name Medine. She is saved in my phone contacts with a heart symbol. As far as I know, Durdona sells military supplies. There is no financial issue between Durdona and me.
"SHE WENT TO ÜMRANİYE WITH A CHILD"
Gofurjon spoke with Durdona on the phone while I was with him. I took a taxi from here and went to Ümraniye, where Gofurjon lives. I don't know where Gofurjon met Durdona; I didn't communicate with her at all on the day of the incident because we had been arguing for 4 or 5 days. While I was going to Ümraniye by taxi, Gofurjon and I chatted via WhatsApp. In this conversation, Gofurjon told me that they were coming with Durdona, and there was a child with them, and they were coming by bus. About 15 or 20 minutes after I arrived at the house in Ümraniye, Durdona came home. While I was in front of the house, Gofurjan called me and said, "I'll take the child for a walk; you do your business, Durdona entered through the building's entrance."
"AS SOON AS SHE ENTERED, I HIT HER HEAD WITH THE IRON, SHE FELL"
Later, Durdona opened the door with the spare key she had and entered the house. As soon as she opened the door, I hit Durdona's head with the iron. As soon as I hit her head, Durdona fell to the ground. I remember hitting her back 4 times with the knife I took from the kitchen. At that moment, there were only the two of us in the house. After hitting her with the iron, Durdona screamed, but after the knife strikes to her back, she didn't make any sound. She fell to the ground on her right side. During this time, I walked around the house and smoked a cigarette to catch my breath. After the cigarette, I lifted Durdona from the corridor and carried her to the bathroom. I was already talking to Gofurjon on the phone as soon as Durdona entered through the door.
"HIS FRIEND LISTENED TO THE MURDER LIVE"
When I hit Durdona's head with the iron and stabbed her in the back with the knife, the phone was already on, and Gofurjon could hear those sounds. I told him that I killed Durdona and to send the child urgently. About 15 or 20 minutes after I said this, Gofurjon came to the house alone. After Gofurjon arrived, we took Durdona out of the bathroom together and carried her to Gofurjon's room. We left Durdona face down on the floor here. There was no carpet on the floor; we laid a bag on the ground and placed Durdona on top of it. I left the room to get a drink of water, and when I returned to the room, Gofurjon had taken off the two bracelets from Durdona's wrist, the necklace from her neck, and the earrings from her ears. Gofurjon put these items in his pocket to sell. Later, Gofurjon left the house and returned about 5 minutes later with two knives. He brought these knives to cut Durdona and to hide the murder. The knife I hit her with had bent.
"WE WRAPPED HER IN A SHEET AND PUT HER IN A BAG"
Later, Gofurjon held her legs, and I cut her separately from the groin and knees with the knife. With Gofurjon's help, I also cut off her head and separated it from her body. After cutting her into pieces, we packaged her with a black trash bag. We packed the lower parts of her two legs in one bag, the upper parts in another bag, her head in another bag, and her body in another bag. Before putting her body in the trash bag, we wrapped it in a sheet and then placed it inside.
WE DISPERSED THE PIECES IN THE TRASH
After that, Gofurjon and I cleaned the house. We put the three knives, the iron, and the cleaned materials into a trash bag and threw them into the trash container outside the house. After cleaning, Gofurjon and I took the suitcase and bags out to the front of the house. While we were in front of the house, we flagged down a taxi passing by on the street.
"WE CUT THE SUITCASE IN HALF."
When we arrived in Şişli, I had the large suitcase containing the body. The other two bags were with Gofurjon. After getting out of the taxi, we walked about 50 or 60 meters. Gofurjon threw the two bags he was holding into the first trash can we saw on the way. Then, we continued walking with the light-colored suitcase I had.
About 200 to 250 meters later, we saw another trash container in the neighborhood. Together with Gofurjon, we opened the suitcase and threw the body inside into the trash. About 100 meters from here, Gofurjon split the suitcase in half and threw it into another trash bin.
WE WERE CAUGHT AT THE AIRPORT
On the same day we went to Aksaray, we went to the person to whom Gofurjon sold the phone in the morning hours. We had gone there to sell bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. We went to the airport with Gofurjon's friend, who was at the place where we bought the ticket. While we were waiting for our flight at the airport, the police came and took us. "
