The investigator of the Grave Crime Investigative Office of the Republican Prosecutorâ€™s Office Nadir Mirzayev was shelved from the investigation of above-mentioned criminal case. The official sources didnâ€™t give details about his removal, but said the investigation of the case was handed to his colleague Vugar Nasibov.

The investigators identified that Ganja resident Shohrat Guliyev ordered to his townsmen Mehman Gahramanov, Elmar Gasimov, Ilham Shabanov and Anar Hasanov, who is in jail now, to kill his business rival, chandelier dealer at Sadarak Trade Center in Baku Ahmad Ibrahimov and promised 25 000 USD. Three arrived in Baku on December 18, 2003 and shot dead Ibrahimov near his apartment. Guliyev gave the promised money to the killers. Then he promised them 25 000 USD more for killing his townsman Kamal Alekperov. The criminal group killed Alekperov on March 22, 2004 near his house in Ganja and received money from Guliyev.

Some local officials of the Ganja City were also summoned for questioning.
