The court proceedings confirmed the guilt of the defendant — the testimonies of witnesses, physical evidence, and expert evaluations served as sufficiently convincing proof of his culpability. The prosecutor insisted on a 13-year prison sentence, while the victim's side demanded the maximum penalty.
Additionally, the judge took into account that the accused committed the crime while under the influence of alcohol, which was considered an aggravating factor. No mitigating circumstances were identified.
The court also ordered the defendant to pay 20 million tenge as compensation for the moral harm caused to the family of the deceased. Currently, the verdict has not yet entered into legal force.
