Dashgin, born in 1981 in the Khachmaz district, killed his wife Könul (names withheld – ed.) during an argument out of jealousy.
Telegraf.com reports that Dashgin’s wife decided to kill Konul due to his repeated infidelity in close relationships with other men.
He beat his wife and knocked her down in front of their young children in the house where he lived. Then, after hitting Konul’s head on the concrete floor, he threw the wooden kitchen table at him. In front of his mother-in-law, who came to the scene, he kicked Konul several more times.
The woman was hospitalized. Although medical assistance was provided, his life could not be saved.
The investigative body announced an indictment against Dashin under article 120.2.4 of the Criminal Code (murder with special cruelty or dangerous method).
Daşgin, who testified as a defendant in the criminal case, said he was guilty of the charges announced to him. He said his classmate and villager Ramal approached him and told him that his wife Konul was behaving suspiciously in the village and was having relations with other men. He went to work and returned home at night.
A few days later, when I was at home, I caught Konul talking to a man on the phone. I asked him who he was talking to. She openly stated that she was talking to a man and asked me to ignore her relationships with others, saying “one of you or none of you.” “I was angry at his actions and hit him at home.”
The defendant noted that Konul complained to the police and was administratively arrested for 20 days by the Khachmaz District Court: “After leaving prison, I returned home. Konul did not stop his dirty deeds again. Even one day, when I woke up at night I saw that he was not at home. In the morning I waited like.
When my wife came home at 6am, I asked her where she was and she said she was “acting weird.” I didn’t divorce Konul because I thought about my children. I thought that at some point he would repent and return to the right path. I told this many times to Konul’s father Samad. But there was no result, because my father-in-law and my brothers-in-law took Konul’s side and did not say a word to him.”
According to Dashingi, it became customary for his wife Konul to leave the house at night, and he no longer knew what to do: “I found out from the village community that my wife was going to meet a man named Adil who lives in the so-called “gypsy neighborhood” in Khudat I met Adil and Konul and asked them about the relationship.
Adil told me that he clearly had an intimate relationship with Konul. He did not meet Konül again after he complained to the police. For a while my wife behaved normally, I didn’t see her talking to anyone. “I thought I was back on the right path.”
Daşgin noted that in the following days he saw a gray “Mercedes” car parked in front of his house, whose number he did not remember:
“Konul left through the back door and entered the house. I didn’t say a word to him because we were angry. Konul came home in that car almost every night. I was already an embarrassment among the neighbors, they made fun of me. I in the town. They shouted at me in the street. I didn’t know what to do.
Tired of all this, I decided to kill Konul. That’s why I waited at home for him to return from work. “I decided to put an end to the rumors once and for all.”
According to the defendant’s statement, he drank 250 grams of vodka alone at home: “In the evening, Konul returned home from work. At that time, he arrived in a GAZel car reserved for employees of the workplace. After entering the At home, I slapped him in the kitchen and knocked him to the floor. I started kicking him with my right foot up and down about 7 or 8 times on his head and stomach.
My children Elchin and Gunay who were at home approached the noise. My son tried to protect his mother by hugging me. I grabbed Enchi’s throat with my right hand and pushed him aside. After that, the children came out scared. As my anger did not calm down, I turned the kitchen table and threw it at Konul to kill him. When I saw my wife standing still and not moving, I thought she was dead and I didn’t hit her again.
Our neighbors Valeh and Samaya approached the noise. A little later, Konul’s parents also came to see us. We had arguments with Konul’s mother. Because I have informed their parents about the betrayal many times. But there was nothing good. I told my mother-in-law, “You didn’t know it would end like this.” At his mother’s side, I kicked him in the ribs again.
The police officers came and took me to the police station. They took my explanation at the apartment and let me go home. There was no one at home. Neighbors told me that Konul’s parents left with their children.
In the following days, when I was at home, police officers came and took me to Khudat police station. There they said that Konul died in the hospital.
According to Konul’s father, who declared as the legal heir of the victim of the criminal case, his deceased daughter married Dashgin in 2005: “They have two children from that marriage.”
“Dashgin began to create rumors in his family because in recent years he was addicted to alcohol. He even hit my daughter several times. An investigation was carried out at the Khachmaz district police department and, by court decision, he was imposed 20 days of administrative detention. However, he was still drunk at home for no reason. I have talked to Daşgin about it, but Daşgin did not give up his actions.
On the day of the incident, when I was at home around 7:00 p.m., my grandson called me, “my father is beating and killing my mother” and called us for help. My wife and I immediately went to my daughter. When we arrived we saw that my daughter was lying face up on the kitchen floor of the house where she lived, unconscious, bleeding from her mouth, nose and ears. The room was messy, there were broken glasses and plates on the floor.
The flood occurred in the courtyard of the house where the drunk vizier lived.
I immediately called 102 and called an ambulance. Before they arrived, my wife took off Konul’s clothes so as not to waste time. Shortly after, police officers and emergency medical services arrived at the scene.
We took the volunteer to the hospital, they admitted him to the intensive care unit because his condition was serious. There he remained in a coma for several days and died.”
Adil, with whom Konul had an intimate relationship, also testified in the case. She stated in her testimony that she knew Könül, who was beaten to death by her husband: “We had a relationship with him before. But I didn’t know that Könül was married, he told me that she divorced her husband. We only met 1-2 times.
Later, a person named Daşgin approached me in the Khudat city area and asked me what my relationship was with Konül. I told him we have a close relationship.
At first, I didn’t believe when Daşgin said he was Konul’s husband. Because I didn’t know Konul was married until then. Although I tried to explain this to Dashina, he spoke aggressively because he was drunk. He left saying that he would report me to the police.
About 2-3 days later, when I was invited to Khudat police station, it turned out that Dashgin had filed a police report about me. After giving an explanation at the police station, I went home. “After I found out Konul was married, I never saw him again.”
According to the court verdict, Dashgin was sentenced to 17 years in prison. It was determined that he will serve his sentence in a strict regime penitentiary center.
Dissatisfied with the sentence, the defendant filed an appeal. He requested that his act be classified in article 126.3 of the Penal Code (intentionally causing serious damage to health – when the death of the victim occurs due to carelessness) and that a lesser penalty be imposed.
The defendant’s complaint was sent to the Sumgayit Court of Appeal for investigation. The judges investigating the appeal finally announced the decision. The court did not consider the defendant’s complaint justified. For this reason, the sentence against him remained in force.
