ST. LOUIS — A suspect was charged with murder after a man was found with his throat cut in south St. Louis Saturday afternoon.

On Monday, police identified the suspect as Alipasha Ibragimov, a 26-year-old man from south St. Louis County.
According to the probable cause statement, Ibragimov told police he wasn't involved in the murder.
Ibragimov and Hill were working together as movers at a warehouse. They were finishing up their day when Ibragimov said he came out of the building and found Hill had been stabbed several times. He told police he then ran to get help.
However, the surveillance video told a different story, police said.
