Muratkhan Tokmadi Requested to Postpone Trial
The January 16 hearing in the Almaty Oblast court concerning Muratkhan Tokmadi's petition about his procedural agreement with prosecutors has been delayed, Orda.kz reports.
Rather than proceeding with the hearing, Tokmadi's representatives requested to leave the petition pending.
We are not talking about withdrawing the petition. We have simply postponed it for now, Muratkhan Tokmadi's wife, Jamilya Aimbetova-Tokmadi, told an Orda.kz journalist.
She explained that the Tatishev family's involvement in the proceedings prompted the postponement.
According to Aimbetova-Tokmadi, since the case revolves around a procedural agreement between Tokmadi and the Prosecutor General's Office, these should be the only parties involved.
However, the Tatishev family's lawyer, Oleg Chernov, suggested their team's formal objection filed with the court was the reason.
In 2018, a court sentenced Muratkhan Tokmadi to 10.5 years in prison for killing banker Yerzhan Tatishev in 2004.
The court identified Mukhtar Ablyazov as the one who organized the contract killing.
