The case went to trial on March 7, 2012, and the trial began on March 26 of the same year.

In response, Smolin hit him with a stick, the pensioner tried to run away, but the attacker caught up with him, hit him on the head several times and fled the scene. The body of the imam was discovered by a watchman at the Metallist GSK at a bus stop on Yung Street of the Northern Fleet. Mubinov died in hospital from his injuries. A forensic examination established that the imam died from an open head injury.

Smolin was released from the colony on parole three months before the attack on Mubinov - September 2, 2011. According to media reports, he “ abused alcohol and sniffed glue .” In addition to the murder of the imam, Smolin was also charged with threatening to kill his mother during a domestic dispute on October 29, 2011, and attacking her with a knife while intoxicated.
