According to KTK, the investigation revealed that the children were abused by their mother's ex-boyfriend—a 47-year-old native of the Turkestan region. He broke into the house and tied up four minors. The 13-year-old was struck with a blunt object, while the middle brother had his lips cut with a knife. The youngest suffered a traumatic brain injury and a concussion. Their 10-year-old sister endured the worst, having been raped multiple times.
The children's screams were heard by neighbors, who scared off the perpetrator. However, the criminal did not manage to escape far.
The court proceedings were held behind closed doors. On February 28, the pedophile was sentenced.
"Within the framework of the project, a fact of the rape of a minor has been established. The police department of the Zhambyl region conducted a pre-trial investigation. The case has been forwarded to the specialized inter-district court for criminal cases in the Almaty region for substantive consideration. By the court's verdict, the defendant was sentenced to 21 years of imprisonment." Prosecutor's Office of Almaty Region
