Virginia Dem Admits System ‘Failured’ After Islamist Illegal Charged with Killing Landlord Fled to Tajikistan After State Hospital Granted 48-Hour Pass
The shocking system failure after accused killer Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda was given an unsupervised 48-hour weekend pass, DESPITE a court order that he “shall not be released from custody and inpatient hospitalization without further order of this court.”
In 2019, Toshpulodzoda stabbed his roommate and landlord, Mohammed Hemmatian, to death in their Vienna, Virginia home, according to FOX 5 DC. Investigators found him “covered in blood from head to toe.” He told police, “I am guilty.”
Although he confessed, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2022.
A Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge ruled twice that Toshpulodzoda remained mentally ill and in need of inpatient hospitalization and should not be released from custody without a further court order.
Despite the ruling, Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office gave approval for Toshpulodzoda to travel to Washington, D.C., and get a passport at his home country’s embassy.
The Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute authorized the “unaccompanied community” visit, and on July 6, 2026, they let him walk out on a 48-hour pass.
After the pass expired, Toshpulodzoda failed to return to the facility, and he was classified as an escapee. His pass was revoked, and he was issued a facility warrant. Although state and federal authorities were notified, and a bench warrant was later issued, it was too late; he was gone.
Toshpulodzoda passed through Washington Dulles International Airport and boarded a one-way Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul, and continued on to Dushanbe, Tajikistan. He never returned.
When asked by Fox News Digital if the shocking system failure should be investigated by federal authorities, Rep. Donald Beyer (D-VA) noted, “I don’t know about an investigation, but certainly it’s a bad thing that he’s not in our custody, not being subject to the laws of the United States.”
Per Fox News:
“There’s a failure in the system somewhere along the way. I don’t know whether it’s failure to put [Toshpulodzoda] in the mental hospital or the hospital didn’t have the right security to keep them there. But no, we don’t want bad guys on the loose,” Beyer said. His district includes Alexandria, Arlington and part of Fairfax County, including the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute, where Toshpulodzoda was housed.
Beyer pushed back on criticism of Fairfax County, saying he does not believe local leaders would consider it a “sanctuary” jurisdiction for illegal immigrants. He also said he presumed Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano was justified in having Toshpulodzoda committed to the psychiatric facility.
Beyer also pushed back on arguments that Toshpulodzoda should have been deported rather than committed to a psychiatric facility, saying someone who commits a serious crime should face consequences in the U.S. before being sent home.
“Deportation doesn’t seem sufficient punishment for someone whose [committed] a major felony,” Beyer said.
