A court in the Turkistan region has sentenced four young men for attacking 30-year-old Aziz Kuralbayev, who spent three months in a coma before dying of his injuries, Orda.kz reports.
Kuralbayev was attacked in Maktaaral, where he had gone to visit his fiancée. On his way home, six men stopped his car and confronted him with the question: “Why are you visiting our girls?”
Aziz tried to drive off, but the group pursued him, dragged him out of the vehicle, beat him, forced him to drink alcohol, and stubbed out cigarettes on his body.
He was covered in blood, and they did terrible things to him. No respect, no pity. I can’t understand how anyone could do this to a person,
said Moldir Usenbayeva, the wife of Aziz’s elder brother, in an interview with Orda.kz.
The assailants initially planned to abandon him unconscious in a vacant lot, but later delivered him to a hospital.
On September 25, the court found four of the six attackers guilty. Three were sentenced to three years in prison, while one received an eight-year sentence. The other two avoided punishment.
The victim’s family has called the sentences unjustly lenient. Aziz’s brother argued that the attackers “effectively killed a man but received only a symbolic punishment.”
