An individual suspected in murder of Azerbaijani Supreme Court's judge Tapdig Mahmudov's wife Natavan Mahmudova was arrested. 38yr old Khalida Ahmadova was arrested in connection with the crime, the Baku City Prosecutor's Office said.

The criminal case was filed under Article 120.2.5 (premeditated murder committed on mercenary prompting or by order, as well as with a view of use a body of a victim) of the Criminal Code. The investigation into the fact was transferred to the Baku City Prosecutor's Office.

Ahmadova was in debt to Mahmudova for $7,000, a source in the law-enforcement agency told Trend.  She has been refusing to pay back her debt for about three years, which may have been a reason for a quarrel between the women. During this quarrel, Ahmadova suffocated Mahmudova with mattress.

The Baku Central Police Department reported that, Ahmadova was arrested on Oct.15 at her house on the Chobanzade St. as a result of operation-search activities. Ahmadova is suspected of murdering Mahmudova.

Ahmadova admitted to a culpable homicide charge in her preliminary testimony. The investigation revaluated that, the crime was committed for mercenary purposes. A large sum of money and jewelry was stolen from the house.
