made headlines all over Kazakhstan and
beyond in November 2023 former
government minister Kwandik Bishimayv
who was 44 years old killed his much
younger wife 31-year-old Sultanat

up what he did and claimed it was just
an accident but the case blew up the
family of the dead woman pushed for an
open trial which meant millions of
people in Kazakhstan and around the
world followed what happened here's
something important to know a few years
earlier Bishim Bayv had been found
guilty of taking huge bribes he got a
10-year prison sentence but walked free
after just one year many people thought
that this time too the ex-minister would
use his money and friends in high places
to avoid real punishment nobody doubted
he was guilty the big question was how
long would he go to prison to really
understand this case how it started and
if this tragedy could have been
prevented we need to look at the
couple's relationship and learn about
their backgrounds we'll also take a

killer wanted a jury to decide his
case.Wand Bishimbayv was born on April

member of parliament and his mom Almyra
Libova came from money too his mother
became a businesswoman in the 1990s she
owned many big companies but in 2024
when her son got into trouble she
quickly gave most of them to relatives
so the family could keep the money back
in 2018 when her son was charged with
corruption she defended him publicly
when prosecutors wanted to give him 12
years in prison she said this would
destroy her son's
personality.Wandic grew up with his

let out after only one year when he
publicly apologized to then President
Nur Sultan Nazerbayf who pardoned him
before he met Sultanat bishim Bayv had
already been married

named Alexander Valakan but the marriage
didn't last and they split up in
2004 in 2006 while working as an adviser
to the Minister of Economy and Budget
Planning he got married again this time

Galiva they stayed together for 14 years
and had three children in 2020 they
divorced and it was Nazima who wanted to
end things sultanat Nukanova was born on
May 15th 1992 in Pavladar in northern
Kazakhstan she was the younger of two
kids in her family her dad among Nukanov
was a businessman and her mom Jumagul
was an economist her uncle Kirat Nukenov
had a successful political career
running the regional department of
entrepreneurship and trade and even
serving as mayor of the cities of
Echabastus and Axu as a young girl
Sultanat fell in love with
astrology she studied it a lot made
horoscopes for her friends and
classmates and amazingly her predictions
often came true she eventually decided
to make her hobby her career and she
became successful pretty quickly
sultanat offered astrology services on
social media she did inerson and online
consultations made predictions about the
future and helped people reach their
goals pick careers and grow personally
she also gave advice about love tested
couples for compatibility and helped fix
relationship problems one interesting
thing all her clients were women and
girls sultanat became financially
independent fast making good money doing
what she loved and was good at she got
lots of followers on social media her
services were super popular and
appointments with her were booked months
ahead she was living her dream life in
spring 2022 Bishimay stumbled across
Sultanat's page on social media the
young beautiful astrologer caught his
eye and he messaged her trying to book
an astrology reading she turned him down
explaining that she only worked with
female clients this rejection just made
him want her more the ex- politician
kept trying to get her attention sending
her lots of compliments and even trying
to make her feel sorry for him by saying
only she could help him and that he
really trusted her skills sultanat was a
bit flattered but kept saying no to this
pushy man who she found annoying and
off-putting she kept offering to do an
online consultation instead but he
wouldn't take no for an answer for
several months he kept trying to get her
to go on a date during this time he
basically stalked her finding out where
she lived who her friends were where she
went and what she liked to do
seltanat kept rejecting him but told her
friends about this guy who wouldn't
leave her
alone finally she gave in and agreed to
meet him for a business meeting just a
face-to-face
consultation he tried super hard to make
a good impression acting all polite and
respectful but this first meeting was
just the start in a private talk with
her brother Sultanat said this guy
wasn't her type at all and they'd never
work as a couple at tea first the way
the ex-minister behaved didn't worry
Sultanat or her family much she thought
she could keep him at arms length and
her family and friends knew she was
strong and independent nobody could make
her do anything she didn't want to do a
month later everything changed fast
quandic found a way to get to her
through her grandmother he told Sultanat
he wanted to talk to her grandma and ask
for her blessing he said if Sultanat
ever changed her mind about marrying him
he'd have plenty of time to talk to her
parents but her grandmother might not be
around
forever this move really touched
Sultanat's heart though she still said
no to dating
him in fall 2022 Sultanat visited her
parents in Pavladar and told them
nothing serious was happening in her
love life she told her brother she was
bothered by the 12-year age gap with
Bishimayv that she wasn't attracted to
him at all and that according to her own
astrology calculations they weren't
compatible but less than a month after
this visit her brotherbeck was scrolling
through social media when he saw a
shocking post his sister announced that
Quandic had proposed and she had happily
said yes this news completely stunned
the whole family it came out of nowhere
her friends were just as surprised
because she had recently told them this
guy wasn't the one and nothing serious
would happen between
them by December 2022 just a few months
after meeting the couple had a fancy
wedding with an expensive party at one
of the best places in Estana
interestingly they didn't officially
register their marriage they just had a
religious ceremony at a mosque but
didn't do the legal paperwork at the
government office this meant they were
technically just living together not
legally married at this point Sultanat
suddenly changed how she talked about
him she kept telling friends how smart
and educated he was how he could talk
about any subject and how knowledgeable
he was she completely denied he was
guilty in that corruption case that sent
him to prison claiming he was framed and
took the fall for someone else's crime
from the outside they looked like a
happy couple he gave her lots of gifts
and she called him the most golden
husband and said she'd never regret
marrying him her friends were jealous
and happy for her thinking she'd gotten
really lucky but the happiness didn't
last
long after the wedding the couple moved
into his parents' house the parents
lived on the first floor while the
newlyweds took the second floor his
mother Al-Mera tried to be nice to her
new daughter-in-law giving her gifts and
trying to help with housework but she
couldn't protect Sultanat from her own
son dot sultanat sometimes visited her
parents with her husband but never
invited them over because it made Bishim
Bayv angry and started fights at first
none of her family knew about this but
less than a month after the wedding on
New Year's Eve her brother Ibec came to
visit and saw something terrible they
had set up a big holiday dinner table
planning a small family celebration when
Kwandik's cousinwanish and his wife came
over with gifts for everyone Sultanat
realized she didn't have a return gift
for them feeling embarrassed she quickly
decided to give the woman an expensive
bottle of perfume that her husband had
bought her the day before which she
hadn't opened yet this simple act didn't
just annoy her husband it made him
furious
he started yelling that she had no right
to give away something he bought with
his money he insulted her and called her
awful names the guests seeing how bad
things were getting quickly left when
his parents tried to stand up for
Sultanat he rudely shut them down then
to make everything worse the ex-
politician in his rage flipped over the
entire table with all the food and
drinks totally ruining their New Year's
celebration ibec was shocked by what he
saw and didn't know how to react the
next day talking on the phone his sister
admitted her husband's behavior had
changed dramatically after the wedding
though she didn't know why she hoped it
was just a phase that would pass her
brother suggested she come home and
leave this relationship but Sultanat
firmly refused
two months after this incident Sultanat
suddenly sent her brother selfies
showing her face covered in horrible
bruises she asked him not to ask
questions about what happened worried
Ibec tried calling his sister but she
wouldn't pick up so he called her
husband who offered to meet manto man at
this meeting,wand just told Sultanat's
brother to mind his own business and
refused to explain the bruises on his
wife's face he also couldn't say where
she was which really worried luckily
they found Sultanat at her parents'
vacation home where she had keys despite
her family begging her to leave him
Sultanat went back to her husband saying
she loved him and would do anything to
save their marriage for a while after
this her husband behaved perfectly
giving her gifts and promising to change
for her they even went on a trip to a
fancy resort in the Maldes and seemed
really happy but later photos from that
vacation were used as evidence in court
because you could clearly see bruises on
Sultanat's body and fingerprint marks on
her wrists like someone had grabbed her
roughly according to Ebeck his sister
never complained to him or their parents
about problems in her marriage after
this but the changes in how she looked
and acted told the real story she lost a
lot of weight became withdrawn and
started wearing clothes that covered
more of her body probably to hide
bruises even worse the once successful
astrologer and popular social media
figure stopped doing consultations and
even stopped posting online she only
shared photos with her husband telling
everyone how lucky she was and how much
they loved each other as we later found
out her husband had forbidden her from
doing the work she loved cutting off her
income so she would depend completely on
him he also controlled everywhere she
went and everyone she talked to she
couldn't meet friends without his
permission couldn't even eat at a cafe
without him and he checked all her phone
calls and messages sultanate was always
with Kwandic in public where he acted
like the perfect loving husband most of
her friends had no idea about the horror
happening at home they actually envied
what looked like a perfect marriage once
in a private talk with a close friend
Sultanad admitted her husband controlled
everything she did wouldn't let her work
or even talk to her parents without his
knowledge he was jealous for no reason
accused her of cheating and beat her
regularly when her friend heard this she
was horrified and told Nukanova to leave
this monster immediately but Sultanat
just screamed back that she hadn't asked
for advice on what to do she just wanted
someone to talk to the couple also went
to a family therapist to try to save
their marriage but the husband rejected
all the therapists Sultanat suggested
and insisted on using his own specialist
who spent the uh sessions convincing
Sultanat that everything was her fault
in one of her last conversations with
her brother she said she suspected her
husband had hired this therapist
specifically to make her feel worse
about herself in summer 2023 Sultanat
tried to leave her husband by moving to
her parents' house for a
while but a week later Quandic came to
get her begging her to give their
marriage another chance
he offered to move to his own separate
house and Sultanat thought a change of
scenery might help their
relationship she also believed having a
baby together would change how her
husband treated her but she couldn't get
pregnant get pregnant in October
Sultanat made one final attempt to
escape her abusive husband she even
moved into a rental apartment that her
brother helped her find quickly but just
10 days later she not only went back to
her husband but even went through
another Muslim marriage ceremony with
him at the mosque she personally told
her family about
this on November 5th she invited her
parents brother and a few close friends
to the Bao restaurant owned by
Bishimbayv's cousin Bakan Bjanov the
family celebrated the couple getting
back together the husband acted
perfectly being polite and caring
towards Sultanat looking at her lovingly
promising to protect her and treat her
like a queen that night everyone
believed his act and his words but the
tragedy was just days
away on November 9th Sultanat's brother
came home from work and was just doing
normal stuff when he got a scary phone
call a relative asked if what people
were saying on social media was true
confused he asked what she meant and she
sent him a link to a news story saying
the former minister of economy had
killed his young
wife beck was shocked but didn't believe
it could be true just the day before he
had talked to his sister who once again
said she wanted to leave her husband
sultanad had asked if she could stay at
his place overnight and he told her she
could come anytime and told her where to
find the spare key but she never showed
up and her phone had been silent ever
since he rushed to his sister's house
but nobody was there her husband wasn't
answering his phone either and things
were getting scary fast beck immediately
decided to go to the family restaurant
where Sultanat had last been in contact
while driving there he got a call from
his terrified parents who had also seen
the news and were trying to find out
what was happening but he couldn't tell
them anything yet he just promised to
find
out at the restaurant there were many
police officers when they found out
Sultanat's brother had arrived they
first gave him their condolences saying
his sister couldn't be saved and had
died before medics
arrived ibec couldn't believe what he
was hearing it seemed like some horrible
mistake but the awful news was real by
the time Sultanat's brother
arrived,Wandic had already been arrested
and taken to the police station as the
main suspect he completely denied being
guilty called what happened a terrible
accident and claimed he had tried to
help his wife his cousin and restaurant
owner Bakan Bajanov was also arrested
for helping cover up the crime at first
the suspect's lawyer insisted his client
was completely innocent saying there was
no evidence against him but as it turned
out they had tried to destroy the
evidence the ex-minister and his cousin
had deleted recordings from security
cameras inside and outside the
restaurant luckily tech experts managed
to recover the footage and what they
found shocked everyone the investigation
of this difficult case lasted almost 4
months the whole time the main suspect
kept saying he was innocent and acted
like he was sure he would get away with
it meanwhile he was charged with murder
with extreme cruelty medical experts who
examined Sultanat's body said they had
never seen such terrible injuries before
some wounds had happened 6 to 8 hours
before she died showing she had been
beaten severely for hours leaving almost
no part of her face and body unmarked
the suspect's lawyers tried everything
to make his guilt seem smaller he
claimed his wife had caused almost all
her own injuries because she was drunk
and kept falling and hitting her head on
the bathroom floor toilet and
furniture investigators figured out that
on the evening of November 8th 2023 the
couple went to singer Dimma Bilan's
concert with friends there they had a
big fight though friends couldn't say
what it was about the music was too loud
and they thought the couple was just
talking not
arguing then the couple suddenly left
without telling
anyone they went to the Bao restaurant
where they continued fighting in a
private VIP room security footage shows
the man taking several bottles of
alcohol from the bar and going to a
booth with his wife while drinking wine
and arguing Sultanat said she couldn't
take it anymore and was going to leave
him this made Bishimayv furious he
started yelling threatening her and
slapped her after this she called her
brother saying she would come to his
house that night because she had finally
decided to leave her husband for good
around midnight Sultanat went outside to
go to her brother's place but her
husband followed her and kept arguing
surveillance video shows them fighting
for about 15 minutes before he convinced
her to come back inside just for a few
minutes that the couple kept arguing in
the entry area before going back to a
private booth unfortunately there were
no cameras there so we can only guess
what happened inside videos from the
hallway camera show
Sultanat videos from the hallway camera
show Sultanat desperately trying to get
away from her husband she stayed calm
and tried to keep her distance while he
kept getting in her face grabbing her
hands and head shaking her and pushing
her against the wall later in court the
defense lawyer actually called these
actions stroking can you believe that
unable to escape Sultanette tried hiding
in the bathroom locking herself inside
but this didn't stop her husband he
started kicking the door to break in
which we know from the damage found
later he forced her to open the door and
immediately punched her in the face
several times he yelled that she was
living off his money and that he had
bought her everything she had what
happened next is hard to know for sure
bishim claimed his wife got angry and in
a fit of rage took off all her clothes
and jewelry and flushed them down the
toilet to show she didn't need anything
from him another version says he forced
her to undress just to humiliate her
more after the gold jewelry went down
the drain Bishim went crazy with anger
he punched his wife in the face multiple
times and pushed her so hard she fell
and hit the toilet in court he claimed
she was drunk and fell on her own while
undressing hitting her head on the floor
and bathroom fixtures the killer said
they then tried to go home and left the
restaurant but he was too drunk to drive
and didn't want to call a taxi because
he was embarrassed about his drunk wife
who was now just wearing underwear under
her coat so they went back inside the
bow restaurant soon the couple came out
again heading for the exit but Sultanat
stopped when she saw her beaten face in
a mirror her husband started pushing her
toward the exit and that's when things
got even worse he began beating her
brutally with his hands and feet
dragging her by the hair around 7:0 a.m
still dragging her by the hair he pulled
her back to the VIP room there he
finished his horrific attack on his
young wife at trial though he claimed he
never touched her saying she just fell
and hit the floor and furniture on her
own he said Sultanat then lay down on
the sofa and fell asleep and he only
noticed a bruise on her face later and
got worried but instead of calling an
ambulance he called a fortune teller to
find out if his wife was okay the
fortune teller supposedly told him she
was just drunk and needed to sleep it
off so he didn't get help and claimed he
heard her snoring which doctors later
said was actually the sound of her
dying around noon when he realized his
wife wasn't breathing he called his
cousin Baketan Bajanov and asked him to
come quickly together they sent all the
staff home and closed the restaurant
then they started deleting all the
security camera footage at trial Bakan
claimed he believed his brother that the
woman was just drunk and sleeping he
said he agreed to delete the videos
because they showed Sultanat behaving
improperly which would dishonor her and
her family but Janov only called an
ambulance in the evening when Sultanat's
body was already cold and stiff he
claimed he tried CPR but it was
pointless she had been dead for hours
when police arrived they arrested both
men while the investigation was going on
the ex-wife of the killer Nazima Carman
Baba Galovva also got attention years
earlier when Bishimbay was arrested for
corruption she had defended him but
right after he was released she divorced
him just saying they had grown
apart after her ex-husband was accused
of murdering his new wife Nazima gave an
honest interview saying he was
definitely capable of such a crime she
revealed they had been married for 14
years but in 2011 after their second
child was born he changed becoming
aggressive selfish and
narcissistic he thought the world should
revolve around him and that his opinion
was the only one that mattered plus he
constantly cheated on her without even
trying to hide it it was only after his
2017 arrest when police looked through
his phone that his wife discovered just
how much he had been cheating he had
several girlfriends at once afterwand
was released by the pardon commission he
became even more violent a month later
the couple fought over something small
but he instantly flew into a rage and
ripped a toilet lid off with his bare
hands throwing it at
Nazima she managed to duck but that was
when she knew the marriage was over in
her opinion Quandic had kept his dark
side under control with her because he
knew she wouldn't tolerate
abuse but he felt free to mistreat and
insult his girlfriends who couldn't
stand up to him with Sultanat nazima
believes he carefully chose his victim
tested how much she would put up with
and when he realized she wouldn't leave
or tell anyone he showed his true face
as a cruel
abuser the trial began in March 2024 and
everyone knew it wouldn't be simple the
murdered woman's family demanded the
trial be as public as possible with
journalists present so everyone could
watch
they were afraid the defendant would use
his money and powerful connections to
pressure witnesses and judges to avoid
punishment meanwhile Bishimayf insisted
on having a jury trial and his request
was granted 12 jurors were chosen 10
main jurors and two backups along with
the judge he wanted this for one reason
to avoid life in prison since he had
already been convicted of a serious
crime but released early a new major
crime would normally guarantee him a
life sentence but with a jury trial he
would only get the maximum punishment if
all jurors plus the judge voted for it
which was very
unlikely so he was betting on this small
chance throughout the trial Bishim kept
saying he wasn't guilty of planned
murder with extreme cruelty he insisted
everything happened by accident due to
bad luck and
circumstances according to him his wife
provoked him insulted him yelled at him
and even started the physical fight but
the recovered security videos told a
completely different story at first
prosecutors charged him with domestic
violence which under Kazakhstan's soft
laws doesn't bring serious punishment
but this caused huge public outrage
especially from Sultanat's family her
mother cried in court saying she wasn't
even allowed to say goodbye to her
daughter because the injuries were so
horrible yet her son-in-law might get
just a slap on the wrist this didn't
seem like justice at all after public
pressure in April 2024 Kazakhstan
finally passed a tougher law against
domestic violence kwandik also tried to
pressure his cousin who was accused of
helping him to lie to help him escape
punishment
but Bjanov asked the court for
protection from his relative and they
granted it during the trial Bishim
constantly tried to make his dead wife
look bad calling her unstable an
alcoholic and
unfaithful he claimed she always made
him angry on purpose he insisted he only
acted in the heat of the moment that
night and just hit her a couple of times
not enough to kill her all her other
injuries he claimed came from her
falling down repeatedly while drunk he
even said the bruises on her neck came
from him trying to help her by
performing
CPR according to Bjanov his cousin
wouldn't let him call an ambulance for
the dying woman and only cared about
deleting all the security footage
quickly
quandic then told him to take his wife's
cell phone to their home to make it look
like she had moved around the city and
returned to their apartment because he
knew her brother was tracking her
location during the ninth court session
the defendant and his lawyer tried to
get Judge Aaliyah Akmatova removed from
the case claiming she was biased but
this request was denied and she
continued handling the case until the
final
verdict on May 13
2024,Wandik Bishimayv was found guilty
of causing severe injury torture and
murdering his wife he got 20 years for
the murder and 7 years for battery and
torture with some of the sentences
combined his final prison term was 24
years his cousin Bakan Bjanov received
four years in prison for helping cover
up the crime the court considered that
Bajjanov had no previous criminal record
seemed truly sorry and fully cooperated
with investigators sultanat's family
wasn't happy with the court's decision
her father Amanuel Dinukanov had hoped
for a life sentence for his former
son-in-law and felt anything less was
unfair however her brother Ibec noted
that 24 years for the 44year-old Bishim
was practically a life sentence anyway
