Case Summary

Case record: Abduseit Ormanov

Status

Abduseit Ormanov was sentenced to life in prison in 2014 in Uzbekistan.

The offence

A court in Uzbekistan sentenced Abduseit Ormanov and Polat Pardaliyev to life in prison for raping and murdering 11 women in Uzbekistan and neighbouring Kazakhstan. The prosecutor Azizbek Nazarov said the two men robbed, raped and then killed seven women in Uzbekistan and four women in neighbouring Kazakhstan between 2011 and 2012.

Investigators used an identical crime pattern in all cases: offering women taxi services using a Mercedes Benz 180-C car; taking them to deserted places; raping; strangling them to death; and taking their money and valuables.

Investigation

The prosecution said investigators interviewed some 2,000 witnesses, checked over 500 owners of Mercedes Benz cars, and analysed data from 50,000 mobile phones.

Trial

The prosecutor said the details of the case were revealed in a lengthy article posted by the prosecutor's office on the judicial news website Huquq. The article was entitled "Death Machine".

Azizbek Nazarov said the serial killings of women shocked Tashkent and that no official information about the crimes was available until the publication of his article.

"An identical crime pattern was used in all cases: offering women taxi services using a Mercedes Benz 180-C car, the killers were taking them to deserted places, raping, strangling to death, and taking their money and valuables," Nazarov wrote.

The prosecutor did not specify when the trial was held.
