In Kazakhstan, prosecutors were fired after the murder of a boy in Talgar.
The prosecutor of Talgar district and the deputy prosecutor of Almaty region lost their positions.
According to the republic's Prosecutor General's Office, the decision was made after a high-profile incident in the city.
On October 4, adult men killed a 16-year-old teenager in Talgar.
The conflict began over a can of beer that the men did not pay for at the boy's father's store.
As a result, a quarrel arose between them and the store owner. The teenager stood up for his father.
During the conflict, the boy was fatally wounded. It was not possible to save him.
The police opened a criminal case into the child's death.
On October 13, the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs began patrolling the streets of Talgar to strengthen law enforcement.
By order of the Prosecutor General dated October 18, the Deputy Prosecutor of the Almaty Region and the Prosecutor of the Talgar District were dismissed from their positions.
The reason for the dismissal, as stated in the department's Telegram channel, was the presence of significant omissions in the work on overseeing the legality of criminal proceedings.
