The woman also stated that she examined the body before the forensic examination and, according to her, found no signs of beatings or other indications of violence.
“I urge you not to escalate the situation. Parents and loved ones should support our guys and shield them from negativity. They need to serve in peace, without worrying about what is said behind their backs,” said the mother of the deceased in her address.
The tragedy occurred on November 23 at one of the units of the Aktobe garrison. The conscript soldier took his own life at his post by shooting himself with his assigned weapon. The young man was drafted into the army in April 2024 and had served for about six months.
