Earlier, the jury sentenced former Minister of State Economy of Kazakhstan Kvandyk Visimbayev to 24 years in prison for the murder of his common-law wife. One of the key pieces of evidence in the trial was a video recording of the abuse of Saltanat on a cell phone, which the former official filmed but forgot.
