Accused Murderer Flees U.S. on International Flight After Leaving Virginia Mental Health Facility

Accused Murderer Flees U.S. on International Flight After Leaving Virginia Mental Health Facility

Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda, accused of murdering his landlord in 2019 and committed to the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute (NVMHI) in Falls Church in 2022 after being found not guilty by reason of insanity, has fled the U.S. He boarded a one-way Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul, continuing to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, after being granted an approved 48-hour pass from the NVMHI. This departure occurred shortly after a judge determined he remained mentally ill and required inpatient treatment. Virginia law permits mental health hospitals to grant committed individuals unescorted leave on day or weekend passes. Toshpulodzoda had previously been allowed to travel to Washington, D.C., in 2024 to obtain a passport. When he failed to return on July 8, NVMHI placed him on escape status and issued a facility warrant. Virginia’s Commonwealth Attorney’s Office subsequently filed a motion on August 5, leading to a bench warrant enforceable beyond Virginia’s borders.
