The mother of a 13-year-old schoolboy suspected of inflicting 15 stab wounds on a classmate in Semey has stated that her son was defending himself. At the same time, the woman admitted the guilt of both teenagers. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
According to Nazigul Zhumabekova, the other participant in the conflict was the first to use a knife. Frightened, her son may not have realized his actions and began to strike back.
"He started first – he stabbed him. And out of fright, maybe he didn't even understand what he was doing. And as self-defense – he started jabbing him with the knife. So, Omar started first – he cut him with the knife. And then all this happened. But I think both are to blame: both Omar and Daulet. I do not consider my son innocent. I also consider him guilty," said the schoolboy's mother, Nazigul Zhumabekova.
Earlier, Kursiv reported on this story. The incident occurred after classes. Two 13-year-old teenagers were playing together, but at some point a fight broke out between them. Shortly before the conflict, the schoolchildren allegedly found a knife. What exactly happened next is being established by the investigation.
After the incident, both teenagers were taken to the hospital. Zhumabekova's son had his wounds treated and stitched up, after which he was released home.
The second schoolboy received about 15 stab wounds and underwent surgery. He remains in the hospital, and his condition is assessed as moderate.
The parents of both teenagers are asking police to thoroughly investigate what happened and establish the sequence of actions of the participants in the conflict.
