Murder of Anastasiya Meshcheryakova

[1][2] Anastasiya had birth trauma that affected her central nervous system, and doctors predicted that she would not be able to walk without external help.

[2] In 2012, she was diagnosed with symptomatic multifocal epilepsy, motor disorders (including central tetraparesis), and impaired mental function.

[2] On the morning of 29 February 2016, Boboqulova waited until the girl’s parents and their elder child had left their rented flat in Moscow.

[14] Meanwhile, Boboqulova took a taxi to the Oktyabrskoye Pole metro station, where she laid a prayer rug on the ground, knelt, and began to pray.

However, the TV channels themselves refused to answer the question as to why they did not publish information about the murder on the day of the crime.

[25] On 1 March 2016, a demonstration was held near the Oktyabrskoye Pole metro station in memory of Anastasiya, and in support of her family.

[29][30] In Moscow, she met her second husband, Sohrob Muminov, a native of Samarkand, Uzbekistan, who worked as a salesman.

[10] At the request of the Investigative Committee of Russia, officials at Uzbekistan's Ministry of Internal Affairs questioned Boboqulova's relatives, including her eldest son,[36] Rahmatillo Ashurov.

According to Ashurov, after Boboqulova married Dzhurakulov, she urged his son to move to Syria to become a soldier of the Islamic State (ISIS).

[14] Later in the interrogation, she said she had killed the girl as revenge against the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, for intervening in the Syrian Civil War.
