Tengrinews.kz - Kuandyk Bishimbayev's ex-wife, Nazym Kakharman, seeks to revoke his parental rights, as she announced during a press conference in Astana.
According to Nazym Kakharman, she filed a lawsuit to have Kuandyk Bishimbayev stripped of his parental rights. The court denied her request, because Saltanat Nukenova was not Bishimbayev's legal wife, which means that he did not kill a relative or family member.
Additionally, Nazym Kakharman wanted her children to change their surname, but this request was also denied.
"Unfortunately, now I have to speak out because I need help. In my opinion, the court's decision was unfair. I appeal to the public, the Prosecutor General's Office, and the Supreme Court to pay attention to our judiciary," Kakharman added.
The lawyer of Bishimbayev's ex-wife, Madina Uatbekova, explained that they based their case on the grounds for depriving someone of parental rights: first, the murder of a family member, and second, the infliction of psychological abuse on the children.
"The prosecutor's office and the court concluded that without a registered marriage, a person is not considered a family member. This approach is incorrect. If a parent commits a crime, the state revokes their parental rights, but why is the focus placed on family member status? Why doesn't the state revoke parental rights for any murder?" the lawyer questioned.
On May 13, the trial regarding the murder of Saltanat Nukenova concluded in Astana. Former Minister of National Economy Kuandyk Bishimbayev was found guilty of torturing and murdering his wife and sentenced to 24 years in prison.
His brother, Bakhtizhan Baizhanov, was found guilty of concealing the crime and sentenced to four years in prison.
On June 26, the judicial panel upheld the appeals filed by Bishimbayev and Baizhanov, leaving their sentences unchanged.
