Kuandik Bishimbayev, the former Minister of Economy of Kazakhstan, is accused of murdering his wife, Saltanat Nukenova. The man reportedly beat her to death.

The tragedy occurred at the Bau restaurant. The couple stayed there for about a day. When the ambulance arrived, Nukenova was already dead. An examination showed that she died as a result of a traumatic brain injury.

Bishimbayev's brother was also in the restaurant. The relatives of the deceased consider him an accomplice in the crime. The men from her family saw the girl's body and were shocked by its condition. In addition, relatives deny rumors that Saltanat was pregnant at the time of her death.

What Nukenova’s sister said

Samal Nukenova, the sister of the deceased, said that Bishimbayev had been tracking his future wife on social networks for months. He acted like a stalker. He even sent his people to the girl.

After the wedding, Saltanat complained to her sister at a family holiday that she was suffering from psychological violence and wanted to leave her husband. Saltanat said that Kuandik forbids him to work and does not let him go anywhere at all. Now the victim's relatives fear for their safety.
