In this photo released by The Kazakhstan Supreme Court Press Office’s Telegram channel on Friday, April 19, 2024, Aitbek Amangeldy, second right, attends a court session for businessman Kuandyk Bishimbayev, Kazakhstan's former economy minister. Bishimbayev is on trial in the killing of his wife, Saltanat Nukenova, the sister of Amangeldy. The trial has touched a nerve in the Central Asian country. Tens of thousands of people have signed petitions calling for harsher penalties for domestic violence. On April 11, senators approved a bill toughening penalties for spousal abuse, and President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed it into law four days later.
