Farhod Rakhimzoda, an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter known as “Tiger Eye” who was in prison after brutally murdering a mother and her five-year-old daughter to steal their car, has been found dead in prison.’<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old fighter stabbed Olga Yaroslavtseva (39) to death in front of her daughter, and later drove the stolen vehicle with the terrified girl beside her mother’s corpse.<\/p>\n
Later, the ruthless killer strangled the girl and abandoned both bodies in different locations in Novosibirsk (Russia) (Olga’s body was found near a highway, while her daughter’s remains were found buried under the snow on the outskirts of the city).<\/p>\n
The girls are sleeping; I’m not going to wake them up<\/p>\n
After killing the mother and daughter, he stole cash, a phone, and sold the vehicle.<\/p>\n
‘When some friends called Olga’s phone after her disappearance, Rakhimzoda answered coldly: “The girls are sleeping; I’m not going to wake them”.’<\/p>\n
The newspaper “The Sun” reports that Rakhimzoda, originally from Tajikistan, wanted to use the stolen money to buy a family home after learning that Olga had inherited a considerable sum.<\/p>\n
‘”Tiger Eye” Rakhimzoda, who had a record of 4 wins and 6 losses in MMA, was detained at the border between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan five days after the murders.’<\/p>\n
The news of Farhod Rakhimzoda’s death was first reported by the Russian press, although there is still no official confirmation of any kind.<\/p>\n
