Putin's delegation booked a VIP room in the restaurant of the family of the former Kazakh minister on the day of his wife's death

In court, during the examination of the phone of the defendant Bakhytzhan Bayzhanov, a relative of the former Minister of Economy of Kazakhstan, it became known that the delegation of the President of the Russian Federation booked one of the VIP booths in the restaurant "Bau" on the day of the death of the wife of former Minister Saltanat Nukenova in the same restaurant. This is reported by Ulysmedia, writes UNN. 

On November 9, Bayzhanov wrote a message to the Karlygash administrator:

Today's banquets should be canceled.

In response, Karlygash sends him an audio message:

How can I cancel? It will be that delegation, Putin's delegation.

During the interrogation, Bayzhanov clarified that on November 9, the President of the Russian Federation  was visiting Astana and his delegation booked a VIP booth at the Bau restaurant that day.

"The organizers wanted to sit with us, in a VIP booth, and we had a reservation," Baizhanov said.

The judge asked lawyer Zhanna Urazbakhova what these questions about the Russian President's delegation had to do with the case.

"It is directly related to the case. Knowing that the delegation of the President of the Russian Federation was coming, they could not take Saltanat's body out of the restaurant. This is directly related to the case," the lawyer said.

"These are your conclusions. Express your conclusions in the debate," the judge said.

Recall

At the hearing on April 15, Bakhytzhan Bayzhanov saidthat several times, after the curfew, a public figure, Baurzhan Musin, came to his cell in the pre-trial detention center and tried to turn him against the family of the deceased. According to him, the convicted former Vice Minister Timur Toktabayev was also present at this meeting.

Bishymbayev statedthat Bayzhanov was blackmailing him with financial documents. The former minister accused his relative of looting and collusion with his ex-wife, Nazym Kakharman.

The main trial in this case began on March 27 with the participation of a jury.

The husband of the deceased statesthat there was no intention to kill on his part. However, the ex-official admits that he and his wife Saltanat had previously had fights. He says that his civilian wife was nervous, aggressive, psychologically unstable, constantly tormented him with suspicions of infidelity and jealousy, and abused alcohol.

The forensic examination in the case of his murder indicates that the former Minister of Economy of Kazakhstan, Bishimbayev, may have strangled his wife. The expert noted that the woman was not only beaten on the head many times, but also strangled.
