The police explained the reasons for initiating a criminal case against the father of the murdered Sherzat Polat.
"Following this, he continued his unlawful actions, posing a threat to those around him, including minors. The court sentenced him to 15 days of administrative detention for hooliganism," the statement reads.
On December 10, Karzhaubai Nurymov was detained for a serious violation of public order in the village of Azat, located in the Enbekshikazakh district. According to police reports, the man was using foul language in a public place, threatened police officers with a knife, and also damaged someone else's property by scratching a car and puncturing a tire, as reported by IA “NewTimes.kz”.
“After that, he continued his unlawful actions, posing a threat to those around him, including minors. The court sentenced him to 15 days of administrative arrest for hooliganism,” the statement said.
Additionally, the police clarified that Nurymov's actions caused significant material damage to the car owner, which exceeds the administrative threshold and requires criminal qualification. As a result, a criminal case has been initiated for the intentional damage of someone else's property.
A comprehensive investigation is underway to establish all the circumstances of the incident.
“The police adhere to the principles of inevitability of punishment and an impartial approach to investigating any violations, regardless of the offender's identity. Upholding the law and order is the foundation of stability in the country,” the department noted.
Earlier, lawyer Askar Kaimakov announced that a criminal case was opened against the father of the murdered Sherzat.
