No one was harmed, but the house burned down completely. In a video posted on Instagram, a woman says that the house was presumably set on fire from the outside, Orda.kz reports.
At night, a couple of hours ago, the relatives of the victims called me and told me the terrible news that the house of our victims in the criminal case of the killing of schoolboy Sherzat from Talgar had been set on fire, Saida Taukeleva wrote on her Instagram.
The Almaty Region Police Department commented on the incident:
The police have opened a criminal case on the fact of the deliberate destruction of someone else's property. As part of the investigation, witnesses are being questioned and recordings from surveillance cameras are being examined. At present, all the circumstances of the incident and the reasons that could have led to the incident are being established,

The Almaty Region Police Department has also stated that the family has been provided with a 24-hour security detail.
Meanwhile, the Prosecutor General's Office created an interdepartmental investigative task force to investigate the incident and will oversee it.
