Azerbaijan, Baku, September 29 / Trend K. Zarbaliyeva /
The arrest as a preventive measure was chosen against the suspects in the attack on Azerbaijani pop singer.
"Today, the Nizami district court made a decision to arrest Rufat Melikov and Seymur Mammadov, suspected in the attack on Azerbaijani pop singer Faig Agayev and his two bodyguards, for two months, the Nizami district Police Department investigator Jovdat Iskandarov told Trend.
Rufat Melikov and Seymur Mammadov were put on trial under Articles 126.2.1 of the Criminal Code ("Deliberate causing of serious harm to health, that is harm dangerous to human life, concerning two or more persons, and also repeatedly or by group of persons, on preliminary arrangement by group of persons, by organized group or criminal community [organization]"); and 126.2.4 ("Deliberate causing of serious harm to health, that is harm dangerous to human life; hooliganism").
Passengers in an Audi, registered 10-FA-222 and driven by Agayev, got into an argument with the driver and passengers of the VAZ-2107 in the Nasimi district of Baku on the morning of Sept. 27.
According to a preliminary version of events, the cause of dispute was the reluctance of drivers to give way to each other. Agayev and his two bodyguards were seriously injured as a result of the incident.
Natavan Sharifova was involved in the incident but was released after questioning. The investigation has revealed no information about her involvement in the crime.
Melikov, earlier convicted for premeditated murder, voluntarily surrendered to the police.
