Knife Evidence Shown in Sherzat Polat Case Court Hearing
A court hearing in Kazakhstan related to the death of 16-year-old Sherzat Polat featured a key piece of evidence: a video testimony from Karzhaubai Nurymov, the victim's father. In the video, Mr. Nurymov describes and demonstrates the knife he possessed on the day of the incident. He stated, "It was a round-headed knife, an ordinary butter knife used for bread. I used it to scare the children. Nurbol Toktaubaev was the first to threaten with a knife, and seeing that, I also took one." However, a discrepancy arose when one of the defendants claimed the knife in the video differed from the one Mr. Nurymov actually held, describing it as yellow. The judge indicated that these arguments would be addressed during the trial. The trial is ongoing and being live-streamed on Azattyq Rýhy's YouTube channel. This case highlights the importance of thorough investigation and the complexities of legal proceedings.
