A Brooklyn man accused of killing four relatives strangled his young niece and nephew and shoved them into garbage bags — then told cops he didn’t remember what happened because he was high on shrooms, prosecutors say.
The chilling new new details came during the Sunday night arraignment of Shahboz Rajabboev, 24 — who faces murder charges for allegedly stabbing his mother to death and strangling his sister-in-law, 5-year-old niece and 4-year-old nephew in the family’s Bensonhurst apartment.
Rajabboev told police he took two grams of psychedelic mushrooms and didn’t know what happened, prosecutors said in Brooklyn Criminal Court Sunday night. The quadruple murder suspect was ordered held without bail and returns to court Friday.

Rajabboev’s brother, who is the father of the two small children, discovered his loved ones’ horrific fates when he came home to the family’s first-floor apartment on W. Eighth St. near Avenue P around 10:15 p.m. Friday.
He found Rajabboev, scratched and covered with blood. When he asked his brother where their mother was, the suspect told him, “Go find her,” cops said.

The brother walked into the apartment and found his mother, 56-year-old Fayzieva Mavlyuda, dead from multiple stab wounds to the neck and body, according to police.
He then called 911, explaining couldn’t find his wife and children, who were supposed to be home at the time.
Police found his wife, Maftuna Khakimova, 27, “wrapped in a blanket inside garbage bags,” according to a criminal complaint. Investigators initially believed she and her children had been stabbed but it was later determined she, like her children, was strangled, prosecutors say.
Cops found little Kamila Shavkatova, 5, and her brother, 4-year-old Timur, dead in a closet, also stuffed into garbage bags, according to the complaint.
As police searched the apartment for evidence, Rajabboev, who also lived there, returned and was taken into custody, police said Saturday.
Rajabboev’s lawyer, Richard Torres, declined comment Monday.
