Kuandyk Bishimbayev, a former economy minister of Kazakhstan, was sentenced to 24 years in prison for the murder of his wife, Saltanat Nukenova. The conviction follows a high-profile trial, dubbed the 'trial of the century,' that has been closely watched both nationally and internationally. Nukenova was murdered in November 2023 after Bishimbayev assaulted her over an eight-hour period in a restaurant owned by a relative. The case has sparked widespread discussions on domestic violence and the legal system in Kazakhstan, with many viewing the trial as a test of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's commitment to building a fairer society and strengthening women's rights.
