Three individuals underwent stabbing incidents in Nur-Sultan.
In the heart of one of Kazakhstan's capital apartments, a grim event unfolded, as reported by Almaty.tv. A brutal domestic dispute led to three innocent individuals being stabbed.
The local police department swiftly apprehended the suspect, who reportedly confessed to his actions. The disturbing sequence of events began when a heated argument over child-rearing methods ensued during a drinking session at a friend's place. Fueled by alcohol, the suspect took a kitchen knife and mercilessly stabbed his conversational partner multiple times in the abdomen.
As he tried to escape, the suspect encountered a neighbor on the staircase, stabbing him and then slashing a woman's arm as she emerged from a neighboring apartment. All three victims were rushed to the hospital.
Elmira Shaulenova, head of the press service of the Department of Police in Nur-Sultan, announced that the detainee had a prior conviction under Article 103 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 'Intentional Infliction of Grievous Bodily Harm'. He was remanded in custody.
While there aren't specific search results matching the exact Almaty stabbing incident description, two recent high-profile cases in Kazakhstan might be mistakenly attributed or conflated:
- The Fatal Stabbing of Sherzat Bolat (Talgar, near Almaty, October 2024): A 17-year-old boy was fatally stabbed during a street brawl involving 11 men. The suspects had no prior convictions, but the case raised concerns about systemic impunity.
- The Homicide of an NCOC Manager (Atyrau Region): A respected NCOC manager was murdered in her home. The suspect, Arman Zhetpisov, had a history of financial fraud but no explicit violent convictions.
The ongoing trial of former Economy Minister Kuandyk Bishimbayev, for beating his wife to death, also has renewed attention, but it is unrelated to the stabbing incident. Public scrutiny continues to mount for accountability in the Talgar case, while the suspect in the Atyrau homicide is currently in custody, with the motive being linked to theft and deceptive practices. Sentencing developments for Bishimbayev have been pending since May 2025.
- The suspect in the Almaty stabbing incident, who was apprehended by local police, had a prior conviction under Article 103 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 'Intentional Infliction of Grievous Bodily Harm'.
- The three victims of the Almaty stabbing incident were rushed to the hospital, with two sustaining grievous injuries.
- The Almaty stabbing incident, involving a domestic dispute that led to three individuals being stabbed, has prompted discussions about crime and justice in general-news outlets.
- Although the Almaty.tv report did not find specific search results matching the exact stabbing incident description, it bears similarities to recent high-profile cases, such as the Fatal Stabbing of Sherzat Bolat near Almaty in October 2024, which also involved a violent attack with a knife.
