Earlier, media reported that 20-year-old Kyzylorda resident Alexander Ivanov died after an attack by unidentified persons near a cafe. The deceased's only close relative is his sister, who is trying to achieve justice and fears that the circumstances of the brutal murder may be investigated in an unbiased manner.
According to her, the tragedy occurred on October 8, when Alexander Ivanov was relaxing at a cafe with friends. His sister, citing eyewitnesses, said that a conflict began between one of the deceased's friends and a local DJ, who called his acquaintances after the quarrel. Around the same time, Alexander Ivanov went outside to smoke, where he was allegedly attacked by a group of 8-9 people. As a result, the young man received three stab wounds — to the back, chest and heart. Later, despite the efforts of doctors, he died in intensive care.
The sister of the deceased reported possible violations during the investigation. According to her, the investigator did not inform her of her brother's death, and she had to find out the information herself. According to the girl, only one person was detained on suspicion of murder — Shynzhyarbai T.
