“My mother is Kifayat, my father is Ghalib, my sister is Narmina and my brother is Telli.

I have a daughter named Samira from that marriage. After the divorce, Tahir told me to leave the house for a while.
The accused stated that in 2018 his mother bought him the house in which he lived for 3,000 manats: “Since that date I have known a woman named Irada who lived on the top floor of the building where I was staying. On August 31, 2021 , Around 5 pm, Irada was at the entrance of the building, he washed wool in front of the block. Irade had washed wool in the same place before. When I protested, Irade started insulting me with the same words. . peeling eggplants at home, and when I heard his voice, Irade came towards me with a piece of wood in his hand,” I said.

Mahira said that after the incident, her aunt, who lives in the village of Gazakh district, stated that her main purpose in going to Maleykagil was to visit the Albanian monument located there: “I did not give any information to Maleykagil about the incident. Therefore Therefore, they had no knowledge of said incident.
Mahira noticed that while she was stabbing Irada, the latter resisted by grabbing her hair and lowering her head. My purpose in coming out was to defend myself in case Irade attacked me, she let down her hair and sat quietly outside. “At that time, Irade was bleeding from his left arm, so I didn’t give Irada any help.”
According to her brother, who declared as the legal heir of the victim Irade in the case, since Irade got married and moved to Ganja, his relations with her were not very close: “However, sometimes Irade came to the village in the district from Goranboy in the summer months with an interval of 2-3 years to visit my relatives On August 31, 2021, at 6:00 pm, my sister called me and informed me that Irade had died around 8. :00 pm 00 pm Irade had a dispute with Mahira in front of the apartment building. I found out that he hit my sister, then ran away and left the place, and that Irada died on the spot as a result of those injuries.
