Coerced Confession: Defendant Claims Police Pressure in Kazakh Murder Case

A Kazakhstani court heard testimony on May 21, 2025, from Abzal Shynasyl, who claims he was coerced into confessing to the murder of Sherzat Polat. Shynasyl stated, "Investigators told us that it would be easier if one person confessed." This confession, he alleges, was made under pressure while being transported to a different city. The case involves multiple suspects, some of whom deny the charges. The details of Shynasyl's account raise questions about the integrity of the investigation. The court case continues.
