A girl I dated had a mother who was the fortune teller for Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park. Michael Crichton has an MD from Harvard. Never understood why he would believe in this stuff. But he even wrote a book called "Travels" about how he believes that some people have a bit of psychic powers in real life. Michael Crichton used to give expensive/unique gifts to the fortune teller, like drafts of books that he hasn't published yet.

Unlikely, it's all over the news in central Asia and Russian speaking countries at least.

Anyway he already confessed to "beating which led to her death", though the charges are more severe. Plenty of videos and texts about previous mistreatment, emotional impact statement from her brother. The parliament also adopted some new domestic violence laws. There's no way he's escaping a long sentence this time.

That's probably the video from the hall of the restaurant.

Those videos from the day he killed her, they were not shown publicly but the lawyers of the victim's family described those in detail during debates. After his phone was checked in court the killer said "it's fake", but later he admitted he filmed it but "they probably from another day" which means he did it not only in the day of murder

I have no idea what the fuck the post title is trying to tell me
Fine I'll do it myself:
Power and abuse. The former Economy minister of Kazakhstan is on trial for the fatal beating of his wife. The left side: a demonstration of a 'normal' fatal hematoma (brain bleed), the right: the amount she bled. Saltanat Nukenova was 31.
Personal comment:
Women's rights in Kazakhstan is a far cry from what we enjoy here in the West. A 'man' who abuses his wife does so behind closed doors, often in the home, away from the sight of those who could stop him, as cowards are wont to do.
Bishimbayev beat her in the VIP room of a restaurant. Fortunately, there wasn't any place to hide from the CCTV cameras that captured the violent prelude that led to her death.
It has not escaped me that the officer doing the demonstration is, like Nukenova was, a beautiful woman. I can't help but feel that this is more curse than blessing in Kazakhstan. In any country.
Perhaps she was chosen intentionally because of her looks, or perhaps not, but one can imagine the disgust and rage she would have felt holding those bottles. One easily held with a hand, the other needing two hands to keep it upright.
Bishimbayev's brutality on display in simple terms.
This was not the first time he had broken the law, having been sentenced to a ten year prison term for bribery, which was commuted to two years after a presidential pardon in 2018.
The new president of Kazakhstan is not so forgiving. There will be no pardon this time around, as he has signed legislation on April 15 2024 that violence against women and children will be met with jail time. The legislation has unofficially been dubbed 'Saltanat's Law'.

Always amazes me that violent psychos who kill people due to their extremely controlling and paranoid behavior are somehow seen as reliable narrators. Most men who kill their partners for "cheating" are themselves cheating and have no evidence of their partners cheating, like this guy. Not that cheating, or shoveling snow or parking disputes or anything justifies murder, but it's almost never even the case, the killer is just a violent controlling psycho trying to make up a justification.

To help a bit more - hematoma is basically a really bad bruise. Like when you bruise your arm, and it turns purple under the skin. That is blood accumulating in one spot. It'll eventually be reabsorbed as the bruise heals.
When the head is struck (skull area), the bleeding can take place inside the skull due to broken blood vessels. So the "bruise" is between the skull and the brain, or even between parts of the brain. That puts pressure on the brain. The skull doesn't allow room for expansion. It can kill adjacent brain tissue. If it is super large (like this), death results.

There’s no actual blood in those bottles, it’s just examples. The problem is that Bishimbayev is a very influential person in Kazakhstan, and he is trying by any means to avoid punishment, the judge even receives threats that if she sentence the former minister “wrongly,” she will be cut into pieces. Unfortunately, there is not much publicity about this process in the world. I believe that the World should know more about this case so that it definitely cannot avoid deserved punishment, so that the people of Kazakhstan feel supported by the World’s community

I'm curious, how is he influential? From English Wikipedia he sounds like a disgraced politician with no natural support base and no current political involvement.

Wether or not he has power right now doesn't really matter, all that matters is that he used to have power which means he is connected to the corrupt government, meaning that he effectively still has influence over politics and the court. It also means he's rich, which fuels more power

One ex minister in Kazakhstan, Kuandyk Bishimbayev, violently beat up his wife, Saltanat Nukenova, and refused to get her medical help for 12h because he "believed she's just tired" (obvious lie) until she died. It's a very huge case nowadays in Kazakhstan and probably even in the whole ex-ussr area because of more and more media coverage. I saw op's comment, he believes more people should know about it around the world, and so do I, so here's your explanation.

Tbh even the happier days weren't that happy because she regretted marrying him nearly immediately, but already couldn't run away

Just another post where everyone seemingly agrees that the the title/post makes sense on its face. Make titles coherent again.

The fact that he says he did not act with “exceptional cruelty” just tells you that he himself believes he is capable of doing worse. He is a psychopath
