Islamist Immigrant Murderer Allowed To Flee Country, Was Given ’48-Hour’ Leave From Mental Hospital

An Islamist illegal alien murderer was allowed to escape back to his home country thanks to Virginia officials, who failed to get a guilty verdict even after he admitted guilt, helped him get a foreign passport, and allowed him to leave the mental hospital on unsupervised visits.

In 2019, Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda stabbed his roommate Mohammed Hemmatian to death in their Vienna, Virginia home. He was found “covered in blood from head to toe,” and told police “I am guilty,” according to court records. Less than a decade later he’s escaped punishment and is back home in his native Tajikistan.

Court records show that Fairfax County was paying for an apartment for Toshpulodzoda to live in while on leave from his mental health facility. While on the 48-hour pass, and he bought a one-way ticket and fled to his country, which borders Afghanistan in Central Asia.

“On July 6, 2026, the Acquittee was permitted to leave [the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute] on an approved forty-eight hour pass to an apartment made available through the Fairfax Permanent Supportive Housing Program,” the court documents obtained by The Daily Wire say. “He boarded an international flight at Washington Dulles International Airport and traveled to Istanbul, Turkey. He thereafter traveled to Dushanbe, Tajikistan.”

Although Toshpulodzoda admitted guilt for the murder, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity after his attorney said he was “fixated on religious topics and he was illogical and nonsensical.

“His brother would take him to a mosque for spiritual cleansing,” the lawyer said. “Unfortunately, his family did not assist Mr. Tospulodozoda with mental health treatment.”

A psychologist named Sahair Monfared was put in charge of evaluating the man “given the intertwining of Islam with Mr. Tospulodozoda’s delusions,” and he recommended that he be granted the not guilty ruling. Another independent psychologist hired by the prosecutor’s office agreed.

In October 2022, the not guilty by reason of insanity judgment was entered “with the concurrence of” the county prosecutor, Democrat Steve Descano, who won office with the financial backing of George Soros.

In May 2024, Descano teamed up with the murderer’s lawyer to ask the judge to give him “permission for an escorted visit… to the Tajikistan Embassy in Washington, D.C. to obtain a passport.”

In 2025, the Fairfax County Community Services Board and Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute acknowledged that Toshpulodzoda was an illegal immigrant and murderer, but said “the Forensic Review Panel is of the opinion that Mr. Toshpulodzoda is an appropriate candidate for conditional release,” meaning being able to leave confinement for good. The “conditional release plan” was signed by Azure Baron, chair of the panel, and six other officials.

On June 11, 2026, Judge Stephen Shannon blocked the permanent release, writing that “the Acquittee remained mentally ill and in need of inpatient hospitalization” and “shall not be released from custody and inpatient hospitalization without further order of this Court.”

Descano opposed the release. The judge’s reasons for blocking release included shielding the murderer from deportation, with court records saying the “Acquittee will not receive treatment if deported.”

Just days later on June 25, the mental hospital, which is operated by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, authorized him for one of his “unaccompanied community visits not exceeding forty-eight hours,” which they had permitted since 2024, and which prosecutors said did not conflict with the ruling. The Department did not return a request for comment.

Descano’s chief of staff, Laura Birnbaum, told The Daily Wire that the prosecutor’s office helped him get a passport “for documentary purposes,” and that the not-guilty ruling “is made by a judge after reviews from multiple independent clinicians.”

“We have opposed his release specifically because of community concerns,” she said. Asked if Descano believed he should be deported, she said “our goal is to make sure people are not harmed wherever he ends up,” suggesting that deporting him would place a murderer on the loose in another country.

She declined to say whether Descano opposes mental hospitals allowing murders 48-hour passes that cause them to live in the Virginia community. She said those decisions are up to the mental health department.

However, a similar case in neighboring Loudoun County contradicts that. When the mental hospital proposed granting 16 hour unsupervised visits to Melvin Wasike, who similarly stabbed someone to death, Republican prosecutor Bob Anderson publicly objected and contacted the hospital, which reversed its decision.

Descano has asked the judge for a “judicial capias” so Toshpulodzoda “may be apprehended and detained if he presents at any United States port of entry or is otherwise located within the United States.” The filing makes no mention of attempting to locate him abroad.

Since 2021, 15 murderers in Fairfax County, nine of them with foreign names, have been ruled not guilty by reason of insanity or not competent to stand trial, according to data compiled by Virginians for Safe Communities.

Descano is under investigation by the federal government after his campaign platform said he would help illegal immigrants avoid “immigration consequences.” The federal government and Republicans in Congress said that amounted to discrimination. Descano denied implementing his campaign promise, but a long list of cases show Descano repeatedly declining or dropping egregious charges against illegal immigrants.

A large portion of the murders in Fairfax have come at the hands of illegals, such as Sierra Leone national Abdul Jalloh, 32, who had 30 prior arrests – almost all dropped by Descano – before he allegedly murdered Stephanie Minter at a Fairfax County bus stop, and Salvadoran migrant Marvin Morales-Ortez, 23, who allegedly fatally shot a man a day after authorities released him from jail and ignored a federal immigration detainer.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger has declined to hand illegal immigrant murderers over to federal immigration authorities.
