The Moscow regional court sentenced a resident of the city of Serpukhov, Aleksandr Syomin, to 24 years in prison in a high-profile case over the molestation and murder of a 5-year-old Tajik girl in 2018, the girl’s father, Abdusalom Saidov, said on March 15.
Syomin was arrested in late July 2018, days after Huvaido Tillozoda’s body was found in a bag near a railway station. The case caused a public outcry in Tajikistan. Dushanbe has demanded Russia conduct a detailed probe and impose a “severe punishment” on the girl’s killer.
