“The victim herself, with her ambiguous behavior and attitude towards the witness Khalitov A., gave the defendant (husband) a reasonable cause for jealousy, which served as an impetus for his unlawful behavior towards the victim,” the court statement says.

He was found guilty under article 106, part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm."
