As reported by Polisia.kz, the crime was solved thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the prosecutor's office. As a result of the operational activities, two suspects have been detained — the alleged mastermind and the executor of the crime.
The tragedy occurred in December 2000, when two local residents fell victim to gunshot wounds. The motive for the crime was financial disputes.
“For a long time, the investigation was complicated by the lack of direct evidence. However, through the diligent work of the investigative and operational team, it was possible to reconstruct the sequence of events and identify the suspects. During the pre-trial investigation, additional evidence of their involvement was collected,” said Kanat Nurmagambetov, head of the criminal police department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
A criminal case has been initiated under the article “Murder of two or more persons by a group acting in collusion.”
The investigation is under special control.
