The building's entrance light was broken and telephone lines in the neighborhood were cut. Two years later, a former colleague named Eynulla Fatullayev published an in-depth e examination of the unsolved killing, alleging that Huseynov’s murder was ordered by high-ranking officials in Baku and carried out by a criminal group.”
