Police in Aktau have opened a criminal case after a woman reported being beaten by her husband. According to the victim, the man knocked out her teeth and cut her hair. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
The victim said the conflict occurred late in the evening. According to her, her husband came home drunk and became angry after she asked about paying the apartment rent.
"I was at home with two children, my husband came around 11 pm. He was drunk. I asked: why didn't you pay the apartment rent? Then the conflict began. He got angry. He beat me, knocked out my teeth and cut my hair," the woman said.
The woman says that after the incident she has difficulty sleeping, speaking and eating.
"I can't even properly convey my condition, I can't sleep. Because I have no teeth, I can't speak normally, I can't eat," the victim said.
According to the victim's lawyer, initially the woman herself was detained due to lack of documents. It turned out that both participants in the incident are citizens of Uzbekistan who lack documents confirming their identity and legal stay in Kazakhstan.
The police department of the Mangystau region reported that a criminal case has been opened on the fact of bodily injury. The man was placed in a reception-distribution center.
"Measures have been taken against the man in accordance with the migration legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Currently he is placed in a reception-distribution center to establish his identity and decide on his further stay in the country. The woman is at her place of residence. A corresponding check is also being conducted against her within the framework of migration legislation," the police said.
The victim is now undergoing examinations by specialists to prepare documents for a forensic medical examination.
According to lawyer Zina Anlamasova, an administrative protocol was drawn up against the woman for illegal stay in the country.
"Since she lives in the territory of Kazakhstan, she is obliged to comply with the laws and Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, like any other person regardless of citizenship. In this case, the girl was in the country illegally. An administrative protocol was drawn up against her, and now she needs to return to her country, and then re-issue the necessary documents for entry and stay in Kazakhstan," Anlamasova said.
The investigation is ongoing. Police are establishing the circumstances of the incident.
