Two suspects arrested for killing Durdona Khakımova, a citizen of Uzbekistan, dismembering her body, and disposing of it in trash containers in Şişli, have been found to have killed another woman in the house where the murder took place. It has been revealed that the killers transported the body in a white suitcase.
In Ümraniye, it was revealed that two suspects, who were arrested for killing Durdona Khakımova, a citizen of Uzbekistan, and dismembering her body to throw it into trash containers in Şişli, had also killed another woman in the house where they committed the murder.
2ND MURDER REVEALED WHEN A MISSING PERSON REPORT WAS FILED Teams from the Istanbul Police Department's Public Order Branch initiated an investigation after a missing person report was filed on February 6 by the relatives of a woman named Ergashalieva Sayyora (32) at the Anadolu Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. The investigation revealed that S.E. entered the country on December 28, 2025, stayed at an address in Ümraniye, and that her family had not heard from her since January 23.
IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THEY STAYED IN THE SAME HOUSE AS DURDONA Teams determined that the last address where Ergashalieva Sayyora was seen was the same address where Durdona Khakımova (36), a citizen of Uzbekistan, was killed on January 24. The Murder Bureau teams identified through security camera footage that Ergashalieva Sayyora entered the mentioned address on January 23, and shortly after, the perpetrators of the murder of Khakımova, D.A.U.T. (31) and G.A.K. (29), also entered the building. It was established that Ergashalieva Sayyora stayed in the same residence with the victim Khakımova and the suspects D.A.U.T. and G.A.K. for a month, and that Ergashalieva Sayyora and G.A.K. were in a romantic relationship.
Ergashalieva Sayyora THEY TRANSPORTED THE BODY WITH A WHITE SUITCASE Teams determined that on January 24, the suspects D.A.U.T. and G.A.K. repeatedly left the house with black garbage bags, and during their last return, they came back with a white suitcase. It was found that the suspects left the residence again with the same suitcase after a while, took a taxi to Fatih, disposed of the body parts in the suitcase into a trash container, and then left from Yenikapı Marmaray Station on foot.
THEY CONFESSED TO THE 2ND MURDER AS WELL In their repeated statements, the suspects D.A.U.T. and G.A.K., who are in prison, confessed that they also killed Ergashalieva Sayyora with a cutting tool in the same residence on January 23 and disposed of her body parts in different locations. Following the clarification of the murder, upon the instruction of the public prosecutor, D.A.U.T. and G.A.K. were released from prison and re-arrested on charges of "intentional killing" and brought to the police station. It was learned that the suspects would be referred to the courthouse tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the suspects' exit from the house with a garbage bag was recorded by security cameras.
WHAT HAPPENED? In the Kuyulubağ Street of the Şişli Duatepe neighborhood, after a person collecting paper saw a headless body in a trash container, police arrived at the scene and after their examination, the body, which belonged to a woman, was taken to the morgue of the Forensic Medicine Institution in Yenibosna.
It was determined that the body belonged to Durdona Khakımova, a citizen of Uzbekistan.
After examining 8 hours of security camera footage, police teams captured the Uzbek suspects D.A.U.T. and G.A.K. at Istanbul Airport while they were trying to flee to Georgia. During the ongoing investigations, another suspect, E.K., was also detained.
Teams had established that Durdona Khakımova was killed in a house in Ümraniye and that her body was dismembered.
Police teams determined that the two Uzbek suspects took a taxi from Ümraniye to Şişli and disposed of the body parts they placed in suitcases into trash containers along the route, and then went to the airport in a rented vehicle with a driver in Fatih.
While the Uzbek suspects D.A.U.T. and G.A.K. were arrested, the suspect E.K. was released under judicial control measures.
