Kyrgyz woman, son found dead in Delhi's Kalkaji

NEW DELHI: A 28-year-old Kyrgyz woman, who was five months pregnant, and her 13-month-old son were found dead inside her friend’s flat in southeast Delhi’s Kalkaji on Tuesday morning. The woman, Myskal Zhumabaeva, had reached out to her friend following a fight with her husband on Monday night. She wanted to visit a hospital due to pain in her abdomen. A case of murder has been registered.
DCP(Southeast) RP Meena said, “We received a call in the morning from Vinay, the woman’s husband of two years, saying his wife and son Manas had been killed by her friend at her house in Kalkaji. He claimed his friend’s wife, Matluba Madusmonova, an Uzbekistan national, called in the morning to inform him that his wife and son were no more.”

Cops found the two bodies lying on the bed. There were stab wounds on the bodies and a kitchen knife was recovered from the room. Senior officers as well as the crime and forensic teams also visited the spot.
An initial probe revealed that on Monday night Vinay and Zhumabaeva got into an argument over going to the hospital. Vinay left her at his house in GK-II and went to meet his friend, Wahid, who lives in South Extension. “Zhumabaeva called Madusmonova for help and was taken to a hospital by her and her friend Avinish. They then returned to Madusmonova’s house and were found dead in the morning,” said Meena.
Madusmonova and her friend Shaina had been living in the Kalkaji flat for the past two months. Avinish, Madusmonova’s alleged boyfriend, was also present in the house. “Madusmonova said Avinish and Shaina were with her in the living room. When they woke up in the morning, they saw the mother and son dead on the bed with stab wounds. She then called Vinay. All of them are currently being interrogated to ascertain the sequence of events,” police said.
Senior police officers stated that the woman spoke to her husband on Friday night and told him that she had gone to the hospital. “So far what we have come to fore is that her husband was at his friend’s house and he was seen nowhere near the scene of crime, so it’s unlikely that he is involved. There were three people present in the house: the friend of the deceased, her male friend and flatmate. As per the CCTV no outsider has been seen entering the house. As of now the prime suspects are Matluba,her male friend and Matluba’s flatmate. Cops also suspect that it could be that the woman might have killed her baby and then allegedly killed herself. However this is only the parallel line of investigations,” an investigating official added.
Locals claimed they had not seen Zhumabaeva in the area much, but it appears there was some fight on Monday at Madusmonova’s residence. When TOI reached the location on Tuesday, it found that the locals were not aware of the murder until the morning.
A neighbour said, “We did not hear anything. The woman who passed away was not seen here much. The two other women resided together. Some people claimed that they heard noises at night, allegedly of a fight, but others got to know about the murder only in the morning when police came to the building. They had recently moved into the flat on the second floor.”
