Husband shot dead by cops after stabbing wife during NYC party hadn’t ‘been well’ before fatal encounter: family
NY Post
A man shot dead by cops after stabbing his wife in the stomach attacked his spouse during an International Woman’s Day party in Queens, a relative told The Post.
Amira Nematov was “in a lot of pain,” said the relative, who spoke from the woman’s hospital bedside Saturday.
“She’s out of it. She is only saying, ‘It hurts,’ and that’s it.”
The Friday night horror in Forest Hills happened among close family and friends who gathered to mark the holiday, which is a significant day in the family’s native Uzbekistan and other post-Soviet republics.
Her husband, Djamshed Nematov, “hasn’t been well,” said the relative, who would not give their name.
“He was having hallucinations. It may have been depression. Mental health. … Something was going on in his head.”
