Russian Mary Kim, who died during the pogroms in the Zhambyl region of Kazakhstan, died from gunshot wound. This was reported at the Regional Police Department, writes RIA Novosti.
“she died from a gunshot wound during the mass riots when the gathered armed persons began to shoot,” the report says. It is noted that data on knife wounds specified in the publication of the media is not true.
Earlier, the Embassy of Russia reported on the death of Kim during the protests in Kazakhstan. According to media information, it hit her seven times with a knife and finished a control shot in the head when she closed the coffee shop. Marauders tried to rob the room.
Protests in Kazakhstan began on January 2 due to the increase in prices for liquefied gas. As a result, economic demands were replaced by political, protesters demanded the resignation of government and caring from the policy of ex-president of Nursultan Nazarbayev. Protests have grown into bulk riots. In different regions, the buildings of the authorities were set fire.
