“An investigation has been initiated regarding the road traffic accident. All circumstances are being established,” commented the police department of the Abai region.
In March of this year, in Semey, Senior Sergeant Akhatov sustained three stab wounds while subduing a criminal alongside his partner. According to witnesses, a man armed with a knife was harassing a girl who had rushed into a store to request police assistance.
Upon the arrival of the police, the criminal attacked Senior Sergeant Akhatov, who was exiting a vehicle, inflicting several knife wounds. However, despite his injuries, the officer managed to neutralize the assailant.
Today, in a traffic accident, 27-year-old Askat Akhatov lost his life. He was unmarried and had no children.
The police department extends its condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
