Relatives of those detained on suspicion of murdering 16-year-old Sherzat Bolat recorded a video message that was distributed on social networks. They say that not only their children, but also the relatives of the deceased should bear responsibility for what happened. Including his father, Karzhaubay Nurumov. The video was published on Instagram by the news public kris_p_talgar.
At the beginning of the address, those gathered asked for forgiveness from the people and emphasized that their "children are guilty." But, according to them, Sherzat's uncle Nurkanat and his father should also be held accountable.
"We ask that both sides be judged fairly. Nurkanat pulled the gun out of the car and fired at the guys. Sherzat broke one of the guys' jaws for no reason. We took out the knife and gun ourselves, so the guys got up. Once again, we apologize for our children. We are wrong. But if they had not been provoked, everyone would have quietly gone home. They are not jackals to crowd together, they are not an organized crime group," the relatives emphasized.
According to them, the detainees had no intention of killing Sherzat. They allegedly received a call from Darkhan, and then they came. Those gathered also claim that the father of the murdered man lied in his testimony about the causes of the fire in his house.
"From the very beginning, Karzhaubay lied about the fire, about "Khutor". And now he says that he doesn't know any Hasan. If he is a man, let him answer for going out with a knife. And Nurkanat had shot in Issyk before that. The case was closed. Now they are putting innocent young guys in jail for failure to report. Let Karzhaubay be put in jail together with Nurkanat. And let them bring to justice the woman who collected the spent cartridges from the ground. Let there be an open and fair trial," the relatives of the suspects ask.
What was before
Let us recall that Sherzat was killed on the night of October 4 in Talgar. He was helping his father in the store when a conflict with aggressive customers occurred: according to relatives, the reason for the dispute was payment for beer. The murder of the schoolboy caused a wide public outcry in Kazakhstan.
On the night of October 12, unknown persons set fire to the Sherzat family's house. A criminal case was opened on the fact of intentional destruction of someone else's property and seven suspects were arrested. The case is under special control of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Also on November 2, Khasan Kasymbayev was detained . Some media and online resources call him the leader of the Talgar organized crime group "Khutorskie" and link him to the murder of Sherzat. Khasan was placed in a temporary detention facility on suspicion of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm and kidnapping a person in June 2021.
