Two sons of the owner of a small Hollywood Boulevard restaurant were arrested after they allegedly offered $5,000 to an undercover Los Angeles police officer to kill their father. Sociz Junatanov, 18, and Asror Junatanov, 21, were booked on suspicion of solicitation of murder, Hollywood Division Detective Lt. Ed Hocking said. Hocking said two previous attempts were made on the life of the father, Albert Junatanov, 45, last month. An unknown assailant stabbed him in the stomach. While the restaurant owner was recovering from his wounds, a woman dressed as a nurse entered his hospital room and injected a caustic substance into his arm. Quick action by personnel of the hospital, whom Hocking refused to identify, saved the man’s life. Hocking said arrests in connection with the two attacks are expected soon.
