The press service of the regional police department reported that a complaint from a woman was received on January 8, 2025, and now the 30-year-old man faces criminal charges.
"An elderly villager reported that the day before, during an argument, her grandson inflicted injuries on her. The police department has initiated a pre-trial investigation into this matter. A forensic medical examination has been appointed," the law enforcement officials explained.
The police reminded that in 2024, amendments were made to the Criminal Code of Kazakhstan, which increase the penalties for offenses related to causing harm to health and inflicting injuries.
Intentional infliction of minor harm to health is punishable by up to two years of imprisonment, while for beatings or violent actions that do not result in minor harm, a detention of up to 50 days is imposed.
It was previously reported that in Kostanay, a paramedic was brutally beaten during a call by relatives of a deceased person. The incident occurred during the resuscitation of a patient with respiratory and cardiac arrest.
