The trial of former Minister of National Economy of Kazakhstan, Kuandyk Bishimbayev, accused of the brutal murder of his wife Saltanat Nukenova, is ongoing in Astana on April 17, 2024. The 11th session of the court reviewed the report of Moscow experts, which was previously attached to the case files upon the defense's request. The court adjourned to deliberate on the defense's motion to declare the report inadmissible as evidence.
Due to this development, today's 12th court session has been postponed to 10:00 for further proceedings. The trial is taking place in the Specialized Interdistrict Court for Criminal Cases of the capital, with Judge Aizhan Kulbayeva presiding. Kuandyk Bishimbayev and his brother, Bahytzhan Bayzhanov, director of "Gastrocenter," are the defendants in the case.
