Desfigurarea... umilirea și batjocorirea ei cu atâta ură și dușmănie! ... Apoi, abandonarea fără pic de remușcare a acelui biet corp însângerat și martoriat... în care încă mai pâlpâia un fir de viață! Așa a fost Saltanat condamnată( fără drept de apel) la cea mai dură și crudă ... lentă și agonizantă moarte! Totală lipsă de compasiune chiar și în cel de-al " doisprezecelea ceas" !... O fărâmă cât de mică de umanitate l-ar fi determinat pe bătăuș să cheme ajutor pentru salvarea acelui firișor de viață incă prezent ! Perfect conștient de faptele sale , monstrul a ales să cheme altfel de ajutoare...complicii dispuși să-i salveze lui libertatea! Să șteargă urmele de sânge și filmul faptelor sale horor de pe casetele video...dovezi de netăgăduit al barbarismului cu care a ucis ! Dovezi clare care în lumea civilizată îl încadrează pe făptaș la omor deosebit de grav, cu premeditare! Fără drept de apel! Cruzimea, bestialitatea împinsă la extrem a acestei creaturi...este una și aceeași cu a brutalilor torționari din pușcăriile comuniste! Până la sfârșitul mizerabilei sale existențe! Aceasta este condamnarea pe care forma de viață aparent umană...purtând numele de Bishimbayev , și-a câștigat-o cu vârf și îndesat! Saltanat băgată în floarea vârstei în groapă, n-are cum face recurs pentru return... Acest viermele laș după ce i-a pângărit și smuls viața din trup... a încercat să-i pângărească și smulgă și ce-a mai rămas din ea pământesc, amintirea! Fățarnicul în viclenia lui, nu s-a dat îndărăt de a o denigra și dezonora... încercând în ticăloșia lui, să arunce astfel în cârca ei, vina faptelor care au dus la înspăimântătoarea ,crâncena și prematura sa moarte! Între timp, familiarii lui Saltalan sunt și rămân singurii condamnați pe viață, fără posibilitate de eliberare .. nici după 24 , 60 sau 80 ! Doar victimele nevinovate , Saltalan și familia sa, sunt cei care execută pedepsele irevocabile și definitive la care au fost condamnați de către acest fost ministru...fost infractor dovedit și condamnat la pușcărie 10 ani!.. eliberat în societate după nici măcar 2 ani !

Until men value women's lives there will be ridiculous sentences for murdering a wife, mother, daughter, mistress or a "random" woman. It should be blatantly clear that Kazakhstan does not value the lives of women.

Illegally detaining someone in my country could get you 40 years in prison. 24 years isn’t enough for murder. That’s not right. He should rot there for the rest of his life.

This case brought a lot of pressure to the government to pass a new law so I doubt they’ll let him out. For too long being high-profile worked in his favour, ironically though the fact that he’s so well known means he won’t be able to quietly pay his way out of prison.

"I didn't expect this to happen." What did he expect to happen, I wonder? After 8 hours of violence!

I don't know how true this is, but apparently Bishimbaev cares very much about what the public thinks of him. I will make sure to bring his name up as often as possible and talk about him with all of my family, friends, coworkers, classmates and students. I am by no means a famous or influential person. This is the best I can do. But I will be diligent. RIP Saltanat Nukenova.

Only 24 years? Too lenient for a horrific crime.

For such a brutal crime, only 24 years? Where is the Justice?

There’s a case in China where the husband killed his wife, found guilty and was sentenced to death. Even though it’s premeditated, but there wasn’t news that he tortured her, though they often argue..he killed her by choking her. This ex-minister appears to like hitting his wife.. maybe the 8 hours that day wasn’t the only time he battered his wife, yet here he is sentenced for only 24 years of imprisonment..

24 years?! Wow! That's what they call justice there?

Should be a Life Sentence or Death Row

The only reason he was found guilty it's because it was seen all over the world. I remember people saying he might get away with it at the beginning. The killer was laughing at first, they denigrated the victim, traumatized and villainized the brother.

Why would anyone think that this monster would ever be ready to re-enter society? He’s too dangerous to live amongst civilized humans.

He will have a holiday of 24 years, no worries about jobs, enjoying a cushioned lifestyle, air conditioning rooms, fed 3 meals a day, engage in his hobbies and treated with respect. He is not in a North Korean high securty jail. He is still highly influencual due to his connections.

May he rot in jail and never get out!!.

24 years? Good luck. Its safer in jail then when you're released lol.

Kazakh people have to make sure that after all the media have calmed down he doesn’t get to slip in and out of jail as he pleases. This can happen in developing countries if you’re rich and well connected
