There's a popular restaurant across the street from the House of Ministries.
The restaurant is called BAU and because of its location you get a lot of important people
coming in and out of there on a daily basis.
You could be sitting, eating lunch next to one of the most powerful people in the country.
Would you even know it?
I mean maybe, maybe not.
If you don't notice the five men that are just seated at different tables in plain clothes
that are watching you.
November 9th, 2023, you could probably sense that something is going on in that restaurant.
It's not a normal movement of activity.
Usually when a foreign leader comes into town there's extensive planning that goes into
it.
You can't just stop by and say hello.
They bring their versions of Secret Service, hundreds of trained personnel.
Some of them are in uniform.
Some of them are hiding in the crowd.
Every single hospital in that area is scouted and prepped in advance.
The foreign leader's blood is typically kept on hand as well as antidotes for a whole
list of deadly poisons.
Really?
Oh yeah.
Gifts are screened for weapons.
Food is tested for poison.
Safe rooms inside of buildings.
Let's say Joe Biden is going to a random target.
There will be safe rooms inside of that building that have been fortified by the Secret Service.
Some squads come in, they make sure that there's no explosive in the area.
They do a full sweep.
Sometimes they'll even block all the cell service in that area, all the internet access,
mobile communications, all shut down for that part of the city for the time that the foreign
leader is there.
At the BAU restaurant across the street from the House of Ministries, a couple is caught
on CCTV camera walking in for a late dinner.
If there was someone standing in the security room, glancing at the CCTV camera screens,
they look like any other couple.
The wife looks about to be in the early 30s, the husband, perhaps a bit older, but if
someone were to glance at those security cameras at one in the morning, they would notice
two very interesting things about the couple from the CCTV footage.
First, they're not an ordinary couple.
The man in the security footage is the ex minister of the National Economy of Kazakhstan.
You put it simply at one point, this man controlled the entire economy of the country.
His name is Bishin Bhaiv and he and his wife, Celtenot, were supposed to be on a dinner
date of sorts.
Or at least, you know, that's what it looks like, until you stare a little bit longer at
the footage.
At 1am, the ex minister's wife is seen on camera wearing her big black puffer jacket,
her pants suit, and she's standing near one of the building entrances.
His leaning back up against the wall, using the wall to almost support her weight.
She looks exhausted.
Her purse is just sitting on the ground.
Then her husband, the ex minister, is standing in front of her.
They look like they're not even having the same night at all.
He looks like he just woke up at eight hours of sleep.
He's got a full day ahead of him.
His posture is upright.
He's standing in front of her.
His arms, his legs are shoulder length apart.
He's holding in one hand a cigarette.
And the other one, he's cupping his wife's face.
Now, it's very interesting how in-tune humans are with body language.
Because if you were to hear that a couple were standing there, wife leaned up against
the wall.
The husband is cupping her face.
It sounds so loving.
But there is something so predatory about the footage.
Saltonaut, the ex minister's wife, looks at first that she's kind of leaning into
his hand on her cheek.
She's trying to look outside.
But he reaches up his other hand with a lit cigarette and forcibly grabs her face with
both of his hands and forces her to look at him.
Her face is now in view of the camera.
And she looks terrified.
Then six hours later, at 7.16 a.m., they are still at that restaurant.
They've been at this restaurant all night long.
Her CCTV camera captures the couple.
Saltonaut is no longer fully clothed.
She is completely nude, but she is wearing the same black puffer jacket to cover her nudity.
The two of them are seen walking through the restaurant.
She's walking a few steps behind her husband.
She briefly stops in front of one of the mirrors on the wall.
It doesn't look like she's trying to check out her makeup and see if she still looks okay.
It looks like she's analyzing her face.
Then she keeps walking to catch up with her husband.
And two seconds later, the ex minister of Kazakhstan grabs his wife by her hair, throws her onto
the ground in the hallway.
Literally chucks her.
Her jacket naturally flips open.
She's barely covered.
She's naked on the cold dirty floor of this restaurant.
And perhaps, maybe for like a brief moment, everything is calm.
There's like a split second of calmness, like a moment of decision you might even say.
He's standing over his wife's limp body on the ground.
What is he going to do next?
What should he do?
The ex minister lifts his right leg up and kicks his wife very hard once, twice, and
then another as hard as he can with his dominant leg.
He's kicking her so hard he's holding onto the table on the side of the restaurant hallway
to maintain his own balance.
That is how much force is being used.
This is all on camera.
Yes.
His wife, Celtena, is on the ground trying to cover her body, but he's aiming and kicking
her naked private area.
And when he decides he is done, he grabs his wife by her hair, a fistful of hair, yanks
her up with so much force that she's forced to stand up, and she's clearly not even capable
of controlling her own body at this point from the injuries she likely just received.
But he throws her up against the stone wall and slams her up into it completely unprovoked.
And he punches her square in the face with enough force that it likely completely shatters
her entire nose.
It's so much force that her head slams back and hits the wall behind her.
Her whole body slumps forward, and the only thing stopping her from falling back onto
the ground is him, her husband, because he's holding her up.
The ex minister of economy of Kazakhstan.
He pulls her back up by her hair and punches her once more in the face.
After pummeling her in the face, he lets her slump forward and he walks off.
He walks maybe a few steps away from his wife, and it's another moment of decision-making,
where he decides that's not enough.
And he walks back, grabs his wife by her hair, slams her down onto the ground, not caring
that he's harming her, not caring that she's new, not caring that this is an arrest
stront.
He throws her onto the ground and starts dragging her through the hallway by her hair.
He's on her knees getting dragged.
He drags her into a room, a restroom, with no CCTV camera.
She is like a rag doll in this footage.
She's not even physically capable of defending herself at this point.
She is dragged in...
This is probably one of the most degrading footage I've seen, like the way that he is treating
her.
She's dragged into the restroom, and any and all CCTV footage of her after that is gone.
But there is footage of the ex-minister at 3.30pm, about eight hours later.
He's still inside the restaurant, and this time he's seen having lunch with a woman.
Wait, hold on.
They went to the restaurant at 1am, and then the beating happened at 7am.
And then another...
Eight hours later.
Eight hours later.
So that's a long time he's been there.
Oh, they're there for like 24 hours.
Okay.
Yes, he's still inside this restaurant, and he's having lunch with a woman at 3.30pm,
a different woman, a new woman, and it almost looks like a date.
November 9, 2023, the ex-minister of Kazakhstan will sit down and share a meal with an influencer
while his wife lay dying in a VIP room of the restaurant.
His excuse for why couldn't you call for help?
Why didn't you get your wife's out of the restaurant?
Why didn't you bring her to the hospital?
Well, the answer is very simple.
Because Vladimir Putin is coming.
We would like to thank today's sponsors who have made it possible for Rotten Mingo to support
the Red Crescent societies of Palestine and Kazakhstan.
They provide emergency A2 Palestinians and Gaza as well as aid during natural disasters
such as the massive flooding in northern Kazakhstan.
This episode's partnerships have also made it possible to support Rotten Mingo's growing
team of dedicated researchers and translators.
We'd also like to thank our listeners for your continued support as we work on our mission
to be worthy advocates of these causes.
As always, full show notes are available at RottenMingoPotCast.com.
We did have a professional Kazakh Russian and English translator who lives in Kazakhstan
to help assist with the research of this case.
We wanted to make sure that we get as much of the language and cultural background to
fully grasp this case and do a deep dive on it.
But as always, with any and all cases, but especially the international ones, please
please let us know in the comments if anything has been miscommunicated, mis-translated,
or if you have any additional information.
A few statements and quotes have been summarized and condensed for time.
I do want to give a massive disclaimer though that this case involves many mentions of
abuse, domestic violence, as well as gender-based violence, and brief mentions of essays.
So please watch with your health and mind.
But I do think that this is a very, very important case that more people should be talking about
at least in America.
I would also like to thank everyone who brought this case to our attention as well as
Saltynats brother.
He took the time out of his schedule in the middle of the draining trial to speak with us
over Zoom.
We're going to talk more about him in a second, but I'm going to link his Instagram in the
description so that you guys can stay updated on the case through him and just show him some
support.
I do believe that in today's case, awareness is the best form of advocacy and just to
let some of the officials in Kazakhstan know that the whole world is watching, I think,
is going to be, could make a difference, a huge difference.
So let's go spread this story.
Let's make an ex-minister very, very uncomfortable.
But I'd also like to apologize ahead of time if my American English becomes really strongly
in some of the Kazakh or Russian pronunciations.
I did my best to memorize the proper pronunciations, but I apologize if they're not great.
Now the defendant in today's case, his full name is Kwan Duk Bishenbive.
But most of the media outlets in Kazakhstan refer to him as the defendant or the ex-minister
or just by his last name, Bishenbive.
We will refer to him either by the ex-minister or by Bishenbive.
Just know that that's his surname.
I will not be showing most or any of the footage from the CCTV cameras on YouTube, but if
you want to watch the uncensored footage that was also posted by Sultanat's brother,
I'd back.
It will be available in the show notes at rottingmangopodcast.com.
Or if you'd like to watch the video version, you can find that on Rotten Mango video on Spotify.
Who do you call when you're in the middle of an emergency?
The ex-minister of economy of Kazakhstan, he calls his most trusted advisor.
He's freaking out at this point.
He's on the phone.
My wife, she's not waking up.
I tried.
I tried to wake her up to take a few steps, but she's not getting up.
What do I do?
Is she okay?
She just sleeps and she sleeps and she sleeps.
The advisor is calm over the phone.
I mean, you kind of have to be when you're the advisor to the ex-minister.
Her voice is soothing.
It's okay.
She'll sleep until the evening, but you can take her to the doctor if you wish.
No, no, no, no.
I don't want to take her to the doctor.
I want you to take a look.
Please, we just drank and got into a fight and I want you to look and make sure she's
fine.
It is okay.
She's going to come to her senses.
Do you think that she's conscious like she's still in there?
Yes.
Your wife is just tired.
Her brain is tired, so she's asleep.
So she's in her right mind.
Yes, she is.
She is in herself.
She is just very tired.
She will sleep until the evening and then everything will be fine.
She will wake up and come to her senses.
The ex-minister looks down at his wife's lifeless body in the restaurant.
Her entire face is swollen, she's nude.
There's bruises, lacerations, cuts all up and down her body.
She doesn't look like she's going to be fine.
Both the hell does a psychic know.
He's calling a psychic?
Yeah.
What?
He doesn't call a doctor.
He calls his psychic.
Now, there is one picture in Kazakhstan and it is a picture of the 10 most viewed faces
in the entire nation for almost, I want to say, a week or two.
They are not even celebrities, these 10 people in this photo, they're not celebrities,
they're not politicians, they're just 10 regular civilians.
So why is this photo going viral?
Why is everybody reposting it, sharing it, sending it all over social media, mainstream
media?
The photo is everywhere, which is technically illegal.
If you post that photo, technically it's illegal.
Because the 10 faces are supposed to remain fully anonymous.
They are the 10 jurors serving on the jury of one of the most high profile controversial
cases in Kazakhstan history.
The photo was released as an insurance policy because the defendant is a rich, powerful
person who very likely is trying to buy out the jury.
Wait, so he released the jury's photo because?
No, someone did.
To show the world, hey, if you're going to get bought out by this rich politician, we're
going to know who you are.
The jury, they do not get to live in anonymity.
They don't get to walk away with a bag of cash and impede justice without people knowing
about it.
Wow.
And they're not changing the jury and they're continuing with, wow.
Now the court case in question is very strange at first glance.
A powerful ex-minister of the national economy is on trial for murder and torture.
The ex-minister's wife is dead.
Family members have been accused of pedophilia.
There is a psychic who seems to be pulling the strings of very powerful people, perhaps
even quietly running the country behind the scenes and somehow even Vladimir Putin gets involved.
And the court case is all being live streamed right now for millions of people to watch
in real time.
Have you ever power lifted 400 pounds before?
Okay, probably not because you didn't have smelling salts.
Please don't do smelling salts, but it is a common thing that powerlifting communities
but also like the NFL use.
Smelling salts are basically just releasing ammonia gas into your nose.
If you breathe in ammonia gas, you could die.
It's corrosive.
It's pretty toxic to humans.
And the smell is so strong.
The second it hits the inside of your notice is the most irritating, uncomfortable pain-inducing
breath that you will take.
It's so strong, the ammonia gas, that it goes to the extent of stimulating your fighter flight
nervous system.
Which then, it just pumps adrenaline through your entire body suddenly.
Your lungs feel like they are all the way open.
There's an increase in blood flow and it feels like you're gearing up for something
like you're about to go fight someone.
I've never tried it, but an NFL player said, it's such a painful smell.
It's going to slap you in the face.
It gets you locked, ready, and alert.
There's an interesting response that smelling salts get though.
It's a reflexive inhalation response, meaning the scent alone feels like a knife is being
shoved up your nose that you instinctively take a big breath in.
Which is why smelling salts are also almost like a DIY of getting someone who has fainted
back to consciousness.
Sometimes people will put a smelling salt under someone who's fainted to try and get them
to wake up.
Wait, so is it bad for you?
Is it like...
It's definitely not good for you because ammonia gas is toxic to humans, but a lot of people
use it.
I don't think it's illegal.
It's not illegal.
I mean, you can watch YouTubers reviewing different smelling salts.
No one down the rabbit hole.
And a few hours before Vladimir Putin is set to arrive at the restaurant, the ex-minister
sends his cousin off to buy smelling salts.
Because he needs to wake his wife up and walk out of the restaurant right now.
Because this is not a good look.
I mean, considering who the ex-ministras in the political world, the Bishin' Buy family,
I mean, I know recently that there has been so many conversations about new money, old
money, okay?
But this is even deeper than that.
There's something called new power and old power.
New power and this is simplified.
It's kind of like a celebrity.
They tell us to do something by something, listen to something, and there's going to be
impact.
And sometimes it feels like they impact our lives a lot because these are the people that
were invested in.
You know, we care about what they do, what they wear, who they date.
But there are people who have way more influence over our lives.
That's old power.
They're the ones that sit in the conference rooms and decide how much interest rates are
going to be this quarter.
Which you think has nothing to do with you, right?
But then high interest rates slow down consumer spend, businesses are less likely to increase
wages due to increased borrowing, cost lower profits.
Suddenly, your life is changing.
Or they're going to decide how much funding goes into which public schools, which honestly
is very terrifying to think about because based on statistics and the correlation between
funding of public schools and socioeconomic outcome of the students later in life, that
means.
It's a group of powerful people that can almost change the trajectory of an entire high school,
alter the course of every student's life based on how they allocate funding.
And you wouldn't even know this person.
You could walk down the street and walk past someone with that kind of power, old power.
And you don't even know how this person is impacting your life.
But they are.
The vision by family is old power.
Knowing them is much easier than speaking with them.
You see them.
They're at conferences.
They're holding these seminars.
They're everywhere.
But talking to them, you can't get close to them.
You leave a nasty comment for a celebrity.
Likely nothing happens to you.
But you get on the vision by family's bad side.
They will absolutely ruin your life.
Your work, your family life, your friends.
They will all be forced to turn on you because that is how influential they are in this
area.
The father of the family, so vision by senior, vision by dad, is a person who is a
prominent figure in the academic sector.
He's seemingly very close to the former president of Kazakhstan, who is quite literally
one of the most powerful people in the entire nation.
The family appear to be large property owners.
I mean, they own the restaurant that the ex minister and his wife are in right at this
very moment.
Oh, that's why nobody's doing anything.
Yes.
But obviously, there's still a few more people that hold a lot more power and influence
than the vision by family.
And one of those people would be Vladimir Putin.
So right now, if this ammonia, the smelling salt does not wake up the ex minister's wife,
it's not going to be a good look for the ex minister.
They need to get her up.
Putin is coming to the House of Ministries and his secret service are outside the restaurant
trying to get in right now because they need to secure the whole block.
They want to secure that restaurant because maybe Putin's going to decide to eat there
later, maybe not, but he is going to the building right across.
So everything is in lockdown.
And the ex minister's wife is laying in one of the VIP rooms nude, tortured, beaten,
and not waking up.
So he's trying to use this ammonia gas to wake her up.
There's something called the cadence of power.
Have you heard of it?
No.
It's usually referred to when you talk about politicians because politicians have a very
distinct way of speaking.
There's almost a musical element to their speeches.
Did you know that some speech writers for presidents?
They will figure out the number of beats they want in the first opening paragraph before
they even figure out what they want to say.
They care more about the rhythm, more than the words.
It's very intentional.
There are dedicated speech writers that study and have test subjects where they practice
these politician's speeches.
There's a correlation.
If they're talking rapidly in a thumping, it is a fight of us against them and we will
win.
Test subjects stated they start to feel a little bit looser in their limbs and it quite
literally makes them want to get up out of their seat.
There's some like a little bit of tension building in their bodies.
It puts their bodies into action.
And then there's a gentle rhythm with very intentional poses, inflections of certain
words and it's soft but it's very authoritative.
It puts people at ease but they also feel reassured by what they're saying.
They don't feel that this moment of, wait, what did they just say about that statistic?
That doesn't sound right.
Should I Google it?
It is so self-assured.
You feel like everything they say is concrete fact.
And it's almost mesmerizing.
That is how Bishin Bive, the ex-minister, is testifying in court.
He is on trial for the murder and torture of his 31-year-old wife, Sultanate Nukianova
and he has requested an open trial with a full jury and participation of media representatives.
For the first time in Kazakhstan history, the entire court proceedings will be live streamed
on YouTube and the ex-minister will testify for days.
And he wanted this?
He wanted this.
He said he wants everyone to know the truth.
His voice is incredibly calm when he takes the stand.
There was no motive or intention or purpose for me to commit such a senseless act.
I loved Sultanate.
If we go through the ex-minister's version of events that night, it is the most impossible
of impossible days.
But what do we know?
We're not ex-minister's, Vinny country.
The most impossible day consists of two things, two elements.
It involves a self-exit and likely a political setup of some sort.
Bishin Bive argues that his wife self-exited that night that they were drinking at the
restaurant.
But here's the creepy thing.
They're drinking at the restaurant.
She's wasted.
None of his wife's fingerprints are on any of the wine glasses.
Which I mean, come on.
Sounds like a setup, doesn't it?
Someone wiped her prints.
Like, what are the odds of that happening?
It seems almost impossible.
But like I said, it was an impossible night.
Anyway, he says after they got drunk, Sultanate went to the restroom and quote, suited by banging
her head on the toilet.
Then quote, she tripped and after that fall, she was already in some sort of condition.
Overall, she was very weak and she was very poorly controlling her muscles.
When she tried to get up, she could no longer hold up the muscles of her torso.
Bishin Bive said that his wife then laid down, went to sleep, started snoring, and then
passed away.
A nearly impossible self-exit.
But like I said, it was an impossible night.
I thought there's CCTV.
He thought he deleted it.
Oh, this is before.
Oh my.
Bishin Bive says in court in his soft politician's voice, I just want to speak out.
I'm faced with these horrific accusations and I just want to tell my story and then you
can do whatever you would like with that.
Bishin Bive continues the most heartbreaking part about his wife's unfortunate self-exit
other than the fact that he's being framed for it is that Bishin Bive claims that that
night, the night of his wife's death, his wife confessed something very dark to him, which
could be the reason why she did not want to keep living.
He said that she admitted to having an affair with a well-known businessman Kazakhstan,
like a Forbes list businessman.
Very wealthy, but he already has a wife and four kids.
And the wife is friends with Sultanate.
Yeah, Rameback was his name.
Bishin Bive got on the stand to testify that it was quite complicated to hear his wife
say such things to him.
That night, he said, she said to me, verbatim, I slept with Rameback, the businessman.
Just straight up to his face.
But even then, Bishin Bive was trying to comfort her.
He said that they were near the exit of one of the doors and he was cupping her face in
his hand, but there was just nothing more that he could do.
On the stand, Bishin Bive is so convincing.
Even he seems at a loss for his wife.
I mean, certain moments when he talks about his wife and he, he's talking real slow as
if he's pondering and reminiscing about her.
He is such a captivating way of speaking and the fact that he is one of the youngest politicians
that took office and known as the golden boy of his political party, the ruling party of
the country.
I mean, it only adds to his credibility and maybe he's right.
He is such a powerful person.
Maybe it is a setup.
And he's saying that some of his wife's last words, Tim, were, I slept with Rameback.
Wait, how heartbreaking is that?
April 23rd, 2024.
Six months after his wife's death, Bishin Bive's voice is echoing in the courtroom.
Say it, you fucking bitch.
Say I slept with Rameback.
There were 12 videos found in Bishin Bive's phone from the night of the murder.
The videos are so graphic, they have not been released to the public, but they have been
played out in court and we were able to hear the audios of the videos.
You do see Ipec, which is Saltona's older brother watching the videos in court for the
first time in his reaction.
He looks gutted.
He stated that in the videos, Saltona was forced to sit on the toilet completely nude,
except for her black puffer jacket.
And in the video, her husband, the ex-minister, Bishin Bive, is grabbing her by the hair, forcing
her to pay attention to him.
He's grabbing her, screaming at her.
Her face is so bloody that it's said that it is barely recognizable.
Her eyes are so swollen, she can barely keep them open.
Her knees are pretty much cut open and there's blood all over her.
But in the audio, you can hear Bishin Bive's voice loud, clear, commanding, clearly a politician's
voice, while Saltona's voice is very meek.
Is this part taken after she was dragged into the restroom?
Yes, after he kicked her in the hallway.
We don't have much context to the videos, but the audios show Bishin Bive screaming at
his wife, Saltona, to quote, fucking find it.
Come on, look for it.
It appears he is telling her to look for her phone.
At one point, it's alleged that she is forced to get down on the ground on hands and knees
nude to search for her phone.
She asks, can I use the restroom?
I just want to use the restroom.
No fucking toilet, look for it, you fucking slut.
Then in another clip, Bishin Bive is screaming.
I just want the truth.
Did you fucking rain back battle of?
Did you sleep with him?
Saltona sounds exhausted.
She responds, yeah.
But it sounds like she's just saying yes so that he can stop.
But Bishin Bive continues, say the words, I slept with him.
Then you hear Saltona make a noise that indicates that he is harming her, that she is in pain.
You didn't sleep with him, huh?
You fucking bitch, fucking lying.
Did you have sex with him?
Did you have sex with rain back?
Did you sleep with him?
Saltona sounds exhausted.
Yes.
Were you his mistress?
Well, apparently that's what you're calling it.
Did you have sex with him?
Yes.
And again, I just want to clarify, I don't think that these are accurate truths.
I think that she's just saying whatever he wants her to say, because I mean, you see the
footage in the hallway.
Yeah, it seems like he's been doing this for the last seven, eight hours.
Yeah.
Like beating her, braiding her.
And then now she's finally like, okay, I'll say whatever you want.
Why?
No, I...
Did you want money?
There was no money.
No money.
Did you sleep with him?
I fucking wanted this shit.
Fucking...
In another video, because it's the same sequence events, but actually throughout the night,
at one point he drags her to his car, but they don't end up leaving.
But just for conciseness, it's multiple videos taken overnight.
In another video, Saltona is heard saying, I swear on my future children, I didn't.
That you never slept with him in your life?
My life. But then we cut to another video, and Bishinbive is grilling her.
Again, did you sleep with him?
Just tell me you slept with him.
Say, I slept with him.
Did you sleep with rain back?
Tell me you slept with him at 21 and 25.
Did you sleep with him?
Tell me you slept with him.
Did you sleep with him?
Saltona sounds beyond exhausted, and she just responds again.
Yes.
Say it.
I slept with rain back.
Batalov.
Say it.
I slept with rain back.
Batalov.
Say, I married Bishinbive.
You have a photo with rain back because they're friends and I slept with rain back.
Look at me and tell me how was it, huh?
Say I slept with rain back.
Batalov.
Say it.
It was him.
Say it.
Again, I slept with him.
Did you fuck him?
Did you fuck him?
Say I fuck rain back.
Batalov.
I don't want to talk.
I'm cold.
I just want to get in the car.
Say I fuck rain back.
Was he your lover?
Was he?
Tell me.
Did you fuck him?
At one point, exhausted.
Sultanate tells her husband, go to hell.
At this point, it seems like Bishinbive's wife is having a hard time keeping her head up
and he screams at her.
Look at me.
Did you fuck him, huh?
Rain back.
Look at me.
Come on.
Raise your head.
Raise it.
12 videos of the ex minister calling his new to beaten wife a slut, a whore, enforcing her
to admit that she had an affair that never actually happened.
To that, the ex minister responded along the lines of.
Have you heard of deep fakes?
It's basically a deep fake.
Someone else, not him, took the videos of his wife in that condition that night, hacked
his phone, pulled his voice from audios and videos because you know he's a politician.
There's a lot of videos from out there deep faked it into him saying these horrible things
to his wife edited into the videos that were mysteriously taken of his wife the night
that she died and then hacked back into his phone to plant the videos there.
But the truth is, he did take those videos.
This was not a political setup.
Sultanate his wife did not cheat on him.
She never took her own life and they found these 12 videos on his phone.
They recovered CCTV footage of him beating his wife, kicking her, dragging her by the
hair, bish and bife.
The ex minister of national economy of Kazakhstan had beaten his wife to death in a public
restaurant for eight hours actively, but they were in there for over a day.
He waited until she took her very last breath.
He continued to eat, meet with other woman, tech sex workers and try to cover up his crime
while she laid their dying.
And instead of calling for a doctor, calling the emergency services or calling for help,
he called his psychic.
But worse than that, according to the autopsy, her murder actually started a month before
her death.
He had been slowly physically killing her over the course of 31 days.
Sultanate is staring at her brother, Aitbeck.
And Sultanate's face is incredibly serious.
She's got that determined look in her eyes.
No, I'm serious.
That's what it says.
Your birth charts and I've read the same thing over and over again and I'm telling you
this is the truth.
Sultanate's brother Aitbeck is about to roll his eyes.
It says that your purpose is to help.
You're going to provide help and change.
You know, that's what it says.
Oh, yeah, because that absolutely makes sense.
Sultanate, considering that I work in IT helping the world one code at a time, changing the
world through software.
This is silly.
Aitbeck is watching his little sister and she's so busy analyzing his birth charts.
And you know, at first, he thought this whole birth chart, this whole astrology thing
was just bullshit, nonsensical stuff.
She was practicing on me.
Actually, she started doing astrology when I, so she was practicing on the practice
on memory that's always just some kind of bullshit.
But in some time, progress becomes a tool.
But Sultanate was never wrong.
She was one of the most booked astrologists in the country at one point and maybe I don't
know.
There's always a first time to be incorrect.
That's what he was thinking because he's in IT.
He's not some powerful politician that's going to influence and help change the world
so silly.
But Sultanate should just shrug at him and she would say her favorite line.
Everything in life is already concrete.
Birth charts are basically screenshots of the sky when you're born, the locations of
the planets, and then based off of their coordinates or where you are born, many believe
that I can teach you a lot about yourself, how you perceive your relationships, your ego,
your perception of your own self, and Sultanate just had this way of interpreting these birth
charts.
And being able to communicate her findings to people that gave them so much reassurance
in their lives.
Sultanate was probably the busiest one out of the whole family during pandemic lockdowns.
So many people are booking her for consultations.
She would lock herself in her room, spend three hours prepping for one single consultation.
Then she would hop on a social distancing call with a client.
She never had a hard stop time.
So sometimes the call would just go on and on for hours.
For one call and she could memorize these birth charts like nobody's business.
If you were her client, one consultation, she knows your birth chart by heart.
You see her two years later, she's still reciting what she remembers from your birth chart.
And the crazy thing is, she really doesn't even need to work.
I mean, to a degree she does, but not to the extent that she's working, like that many
hours on one consultation, the Nukia Nova family to put it simply, nobody in the family
was in dire need of money.
They are not politically well connected or powerful or influential in the government arena,
which is probably the most important arena in Kazakhstan, but they are very, very well
established business leaders.
Sultanate's grandfather was a self-made businessman who went on to have 10 children.
And each of the 10 children all end up doing really well for themselves.
Yeah.
So I would say this family knows how to raise kids.
One of them, Sultanate's uncle, he does end up kind of becoming a high ranking government
official in his local town.
So it's nothing like Bishop Bif and his family, but it's something.
And the others like Sultanate's dad, they're in the business sectors.
Sultanate's dad had this presence in trade, fright rails and road transportation markets.
So this whole family of four, Sultanate's parents, Aitbeck, which is Sultanate's brother,
and Sultanate.
They really do not need to work, if you will.
But it didn't feel like work to Sultanate.
She was so into astrology even before the astrology girlies, before it's like what it is
now.
Sultanate was in the fifth grade when she sees this girl reading a book on astrology.
And she's like, can I borrow that when you're done?
She reads the entire thing in one sitting and she's so fascinated.
I mean, even for the piano, she just had this memory.
She's so good with energy.
Okay, energy makes it sound very like, wishy washy.
Vibes is such a weird word.
But for example, she learned how to play the piano.
And a lot of times when people learn to play the piano, they remember the exact notes.
They're like, okay, these are the keys.
This is what this represents.
I got to hit this one next.
And it's almost like a repetition.
It's a memorization of a series of keys, but she would actually remember the tone.
And she would remember, okay, at this part, I feel like it needs to be faster paced.
So then she'd play that part faster.
And if she played it once, she could basically play it for memory.
So the same thing happens with astrology.
And I don't think that she thought it was a career at first, because she went to school.
And I believe she studied in the UK, went to school, graduated.
She likely came home trying to find a job with her degree.
And she's just doing this for fun.
She would do it for personal people in her lives.
And everybody would go tell their friends, you gotta go talk to Sultanate.
If you're having problems in life, you talk to Sultanate.
I mean, it got to the point where she was basically being booked non-stop.
And it just naturally becomes a career.
You had to book two months in advance to talk to Sultanate.
But she did have this one rule.
She only accepted women.
I believe that she at one point did take male clients.
And after a few sessions, she would realize, okay, this person is not actually into astrology.
This person just wants to go on a date.
One time she straight up shut down one of the men that was trying to do something.
She just wanted them out of her life.
She said, hey, listen, I'm not going to go on a date with you because I'm a feminist.
I mean, this guy seemed like a straight up misogynist.
So this is likely going to work.
But he comes back responding.
Oh, you're a feminist.
You said likely what work or wouldn't work?
Likely would work.
He would be like, a feminism and then he would just leave.
Oh, you're saying that would work?
Yeah.
But he comes back responding.
You're a feminist.
Does that mean you like girls?
So to not in her brother, they were rolling over laughing at dinner over this one because
what the fork is going on.
There was a time when some guys sent the message to Instagram direct.
So to not look like she should go to the date or something like that.
And she said, I'm not going on a date.
I'm a feminist.
And he was asking, is that a meaning that you don't like many people like girls?
We've been laughing on that story.
Like...
The New Dyson for the longest time.
You know the one that's been going viral with the LED light that shows you every little
piece of dust that you sweep up.
It makes cleaning feel that much more satisfying.
I just could never justify spending that much money.
And now I'm excited because I don't have to.

So from then on, just female clients it was until she meets Bishinbive.
Bishinbive comes across Sultanate's Instagram page.
Now, there are some reports that this ex-politician ex-minister, his psychic told him that he was
going to marry an astrologer and marry her one day.
So that's why he's lurking on Instagram for astrologers in Kazakhstan.
But that's not proven.
Regardless, he comes across Sultanate's page and immediately, of course he's interested.
I mean, she's stunning.
She literally is incredibly beautiful.
He signs up for her consultation, gets a professional but firm message back.
Sultanate only accepts female clients.
He's like, yeah, no, but you must not know Sultanate.
I'm Bishinbive, the ex-minister.
No, thank you.
I only accept female clients.
Sultanate politely declines his appointment request and so he starts sending her more messages.
They go unread.
He tries to track her down.
She's not giving him the time of day.
She's not interested.
So finally, he gets a female friend of his to make up this whole backstory of why she
needs a consultation with Sultanate ASAP because like I said, you got a book two months in
advance and Sultanate meets up with her to help.
And they start hating it off and the client basically tells her near the end.
Look, I lied.
The real reason I'm here is my friend.
He's truly an incredible guy and I promise you once you get to know him, if you just
give him the chance truly, I think that you guys would be perfect for each other.
The guy is Bishinbive.
Now Sultanate agrees to meet with Bishinbive, but even he later states that she was incredibly
apprehensive, just hesitant about the whole relationship.
First of all, Bishinbive is 12 years older than her, but to be fair, he does look much younger
for his age.
And I don't say that as a compliment.
I'm just stating why she might have been more open to the age gap.
And he's incredibly charming.
In terms of looks, I mean, she's receiving marriage proposals from very successful businessmen
all over Kazakhstan through Instagram.
She's beautiful.
She's slightly resemble Scarlett Johansson when she smiles.
I mean, she's just stunning.
Bishinbive is not the most attractive and he's older.
He has two previous marriages and four kids from those previous marriages.
So Sultanate's family and friends are like, okay, yeah, who cares if he's the ex-minister.
You're way too good for him.
But Sultanate does not care about looks.
She does not care about children or previous marriages.
She said, he is one of the most intelligent and mentally stimulating men that I've ever
met.
Or at least, that's how you portrayed himself.
Bishinbive graduated high school at 15, graduated from the reputable Kazakhstan State Academy
for Management, which is one of the top two schools in Kazakhstan.
Then he won and got his masters from the other top school in Kazakhstan.
He even graduated with a masters in business administration from George Washington University
in the United States.
And his political career, I mean, it's insane.
He was the vice minister of industry and trade.
Then he was the assistant to the president of Kazakhstan, Nur Sultan, which is the first
president of Kazakhstan, very powerful person.
He was assistant to the president.
Wow.
Like his right hand man.
And after that, he was appointed minister of national economy, I mean, which to give you
an idea on paper, that would make him one of the top 10 most powerful people in the entire
country.
He was actually nicknamed by citizens and politicians of being the golden boy of politics,
which yeah, on paper, it all makes him a great candidate for marriage and for dating,
but Sultanate is more intrigued by the fact that he could teach her things.
He'd like to talk about economy, politics, like things that she didn't know as much about.
And instead of a man who just wants to go on vacation and talk about what she can do
for him, he was intellectually stimulating her.
And he was super respectful.
I want to meet your grandmother.
One of her favorite people on the entire planet is her grandmother.
And he told her something along the lines of, I know it.
I just know we're going to get married one day, whenever you're ready, but I want to get
to know your grandmother first so that she can see what kind of man I am.
And then eventually I can ask for her permission because for me, getting her blessing is just
so important when she means so much to you.
Within two months of meeting, Bishinbive proposes to Sultana.
They would get married December 16th, 2022, and they do not officially register their
marriage, but they are common law, husband, and wife.
After getting married, Sultanate jokes on her social media, the most golden husband,
not once regretted saying yes, I'm ready to roll dough for him from morning till evening.
Have you ever heard of the term watershed?
No.
I guess it's kind of like a canon event.
It refers to a moment in time, a single event that changes the course of your life forever.
Every single person usually has one or two of these moments looking back.
You see two major events that changes everything.
It changes your perspective, direction, priorities.
It even solidifies who you are and what you think of the world and yourself.
It's a lot.
Both Sultana and Bishinbive allegedly had very similar watershed moments.
Both of them would include car accidents with children.
Bishinbive's watershed moment involved a rumor of him recklessly driving and hitting
and killing a young child with his car.
It is alleged that his family paid off the victim's parents to keep them quiet.
Sultana's watershed moment involved her getting hit by a reckless driver as a child.
It's unclear if I peck Sultana's older brother screamed, like Diddy's scream when he saw
Sultana laying motionless on the ground.
We don't know, but it was one of the most vivid memories of his life when his baby sister
was hit by a car.
He was maybe 10, Sultana is maybe 5, and Sultana is playing out in the front yard of the
house.
She's not even playing on the street or anything, just on the grass.
I peck is near the front window.
He looks up, sees a car, come out of nowhere, knock tiny little Sultana over onto the ground
and he's running out.
Maybe it was a distracted driver slowly driving down a residential area.
I don't know, it's unclear, but thankfully Sultana only had a cut above one of her eyes.
That was it.
Side note, the driver was not busy even though they are 12 years apart.
The whole family, Sultana's whole family, they tried to laugh about the incident, especially
later on they would make fun of Sultana's tiny little scar above her eye.
But I peck, her brother remembers, ever since that moment something changed, he just always
felt nervous.
He was always subconsciously looking for his little sister, just to make sure that she
was okay.
Even when she became an adult, he never grew out of it.
March 20th, 2023.
Eight months before Sultana's death.
I peck comes home from work, and usually when he's at work, he doesn't check his phone.
So he finally pulls out his phone out of his pocket.
He sees a bunch of missed calls and messages from his little sister, Sultana.
He opens them up and the first thing filling the screen is a picture of his baby sister
with two black eyes.
I mean, it's pretty clear, someone punched her in the face, like what are the odds that
this was an accident?
It doesn't make sense.
It clearly looks like multiple, purposeful punches to the face to cause these two black
eyes.
It's definitely not some kind of slap.
I mean, the picture comes with a simple cryptic message from Sultana.
Don't ask anything.
I will explain later.
I peck, he's calling Sultana nonstop at this point.
He's worried he doesn't know what's going on, what happened if she's okay, where she
is.
He checks her, find my iPhone, the whole family shares their locations.
She's at her apartment that she shares with Bishinbive.
He starts driving there.
He's calling Bishinbive the husband on the way, and he just makes things even more cryptic.
Bishinbive tells Ipeck, come over and we can talk like men.
What?
And I'm sure that drive felt like five hours long, where Ipeck is just running through
all of these incidents.
I mean, you know when you have a gut feeling about somebody, but you keep pushing it away
because there's no proof that somebody is bad and you would seem like the crazy person,
judgemental, evil person, jealous person.
If you were to talk about them based off of this gut feeling, but likely now on this
drive, everything is rushing back to Ipeck, all those little gut instinct moments.
Ipeck initially called Bishinbive, stalker pushkin as a joke.
Well, okay, it was a joke at the time.
Ipecker, because the way he was so aggressively pursuing Sultanate and pushkin after Alexander
pushkin, the Russian poet, because Bishinbive would just send Sultanate these mile long
messages, professing his love for her like a poet he would write novels for her.
And at the time, it was funny, but it was also kind of bothering Ipeck.
He was worried for his little sister, but she would just tell him, it's because he's
older, that's how older people text, and he's just very serious about finding a wife.
You know, he's not like the guy's my age that just want to joke around and play around.
But there were other smaller things too.
Like they're so small that if Ipeck had made a big deal about it to his sister, he would
be the weird one.
For example, I think it takes a while typically for someone to start copying someone's
mannerisms.
I mean, I think cadence, maybe you pick up on it a little bit quicker, but Ipeck remembered
after a few weeks of dating, he had lunch with Sultanate and Bishinbive.
And Bishinbive would copy all of Sultanate's mannerisms, little things, little phrases
that she used to say the way Sultanate would move her hands and be very expressive when
she talks, Bishinbive was doing that now.
But it feels forced.
It feels like it was too soon for him to pick up on all these tiny little things that
Sultanate did.
They'd only been dating for a few weeks.
It felt like Bishinbive was going out of his way to mirror Sultanate.
That is so creepy.
And they do say that if you mirror someone's body language subconsciously, they end up liking
you more.
There were rumors that Bishinbive was very difficult to work with, and that's putting it very
lightly.
The people who worked for him called him a tyrant, aggressive, incredibly volatile to work
for.
When Ipeck brought it up with Sultanate, she said she already knew about the rumor, she
talked about it with Bishinbive, and he himself told her he was so young, he was under so much
pressure from that kind of position, he just wanted to do a good job for Kazakhstan.
But now that he's older, he realizes just how wrong that was.
Bishinbive had a way of just explaining all these things in such a believable message.
I mean, you don't become a politician without being persuasive, it's your whole job is
making people like you.
But harder to explain away was Bishinbive's conviction for bribery in 2017.
He was kicked out of office as the ex minister of national economy because he was caught taking
a $2 million bribe, but he confidently told Sultanate and all of her loved ones.
He was framed, it was a political setup, that's why he received a presidential pardon.
He was sentenced to be in jail for 10 years, but he only served two, and then he was pardoned.
Would he have been let out so soon if he were actually guilty?
Then very quickly into dating Bishinbive, Sultanate quit her job.
Sultanate convinced everyone that it was because you know, she still loves astrology, but she
just wants to focus on growing a family.
But I bet clearly remembers hearing Bishinbive dismiss astrology as basically a stupid
girl's science.
Yeah, which is rude, but also he's one to talk because he's kind of freaking psychic
on speed dial, giving him advice on, I don't know, how to run the national economy, but
Sultanate would explain that this was because Bishinbive is just very family oriented.
So they just want to focus on the family unit.
I mean, everything Bishinbive said, it made sense, everything was always beautifully
explained away, except that one incident just a few months ago.
He's getting that picture from his little sister, March 20th of 2023.
Okay, are you a girl?
Yes, now January 1st of 2023, so like three months before this picture, there was something
weird that happened.
And they got married, you say December of 2022.
So this is like four months into their marriage.
The photo was sent four months after.
Yes.
Wow.
And they only met two months prior to that.
This is like within half a year of meeting Bishinbive.
And also the restaurant happened November.
So they were married for less than a year.
Wow.
Now, the entire New Year of 2023 was ruined by a perfume bottle.
In Kazakhstan, New Year's is kind of like Christmas.
And I'm not sure if there's a religious aspect to it.
Obviously, take out all the religious aspects of Christmas.
So for example, I'm not Christian, but my family celebrates Christmas.
Everybody comes over, nobody comes, I'm de-handed.
It's very similar in that sense.
There's a huge gift exchange.
And it's kind of weird to not have a gift for someone at a Christmas party, right?
So that's New Year's in Kazakhstan.
New Year's Eve, December 31st, 2022.
So heading into 2023.
This is the same month that they get married, Bishinbive and Sultanate get married.
This is 11 months before Sultanate's death.
Sultanate's brother, Aitbeck, arrives at their apartment, the newlywed apartment.
And it feels like a party.
And there's kids running around screaming at each other.
There's beautifully wrapped gifts piled up on the table.
The adults are mingling.
Aitbeck walks in with his gift in his hand ready for his baby sister.
He's only going to be there for a few hours because he has other plans for the actual
New Year countdown.
He walks over to a sister, presents his gift, and she seems really anxious, which is kind
of strange because Sultanate typically loves family gatherings.
I mean, she's like, I don't want to say she's the life of the party, but she's so full
of life.
She's an introvert.
So she enjoys a lot of time alone, but you would never think she's an introvert because
she just has so much energy and excitement and like it rubs off on you and it's contagious.
And this is where she would have that, but she doesn't.
She seems so nervous and she keeps glancing at the dining table and she's nervously asking
her brother Aitbeck if he thinks the table is set okay.
It's just very strange.
I mean, she's like obsessing over how well she set the table on the dishes and she seems
genuinely stressed out about it.
Like it's interfering with her ability to enjoy herself.
Her brother is trying to calm her down like, yes, the table is beautiful.
What are you talking about?
I mean, it really is strange, but maybe she just wanted to host the best New Year's Eve
party since she just got married.
This is her first New Year's Eve as a wife.
Maybe she's taken it too seriously, putting too much pressure on herself.
Then a few hours later, the door to the party opens and in walks, Bish and Bives distant
cousin.
This cousin is very important.
He's there at the day of the murder.
We're going to call him cousin B.
Cousin B walks in and he's with his wife and it's clear that they were uninvited.
Everybody is like, oh, what are you doing here?
Like what's going on?
He's like, oh, we were on our way to our New Year's Eve plans, but you were on the
drive and we thought we could drop off a cute little gift.
I bet Glance is over and Sultanate is clearly panicking because it's kind of perceived as
rude to not have a gift prepared for a guest for New Year's Eve party.
That's just the way it works.
Everybody's doing a gift exchange.
But he was not invited.
Exactly.
But they still brought a gift and on top of that, this is Bish and Bives cousin.
I'm sure there's this added layer of Sultanate wanting to be generous and welcoming to his
eye to the family.
Like I would much rather accidentally forget a gift for my cousin than my husband's cousin.
Because I'm just closer with my cousin, right?
I can explain the situation.
Sultanate rushes into her room, comes back out a few minutes later with a carefully, beautifully
wrapped gift for cousin B's wife.
She opens it up.
It's a perfume bottle.
Unopened, of course.
And for a second, it seems like the social crisis is averted.
Cousin B's wife looks so happy with her new gift.
It's so thoughtful.
It's so sweet.
Bish and Bives walks over, sees the perfume bottle, and in that split second, his politician
faces gone.
He's tomato red, and there's literally fire burning hatred in his eyes.
Because he had gifted Sultanate that perfume, and now she is regifting it to his cousin's
wife.
I will say, regifting is very tricky.
I can see how someone would be upset at a regift.
But it's a perfume bottle.
It's likely not a sentimental gift, with a lot of emotional and monetary value, especially
for someone as powerful and rich as Bish and Bives.
And it's from her husband.
What does he matter about?
He gave that gift to Sultanate.
He gave the perfume bottle as a gift to Sultanate, and Sultanate is regifting it to his cousin's
wife.
Like, she's not treasuring the gift from him?
I mean, it's like, I can a thousand percent see myself doing exactly what Sultanate did
in this situation.
And I think you would be a thousand percent behind my decision.
And if you weren't, I think you would just bring it up after the party.
Like, hey, I really wanted you to have that, and I was really excited for you to have
that.
Like, I picked it out.
But not Bish and Bives.
He flips like a switch in the middle of this party.
The best way that people have described him is this is someone else's description, someone
who knows him, not me, a monkey with a grenade.
Like you just don't know what they're about to do when they get mad.
It's very unstable, unpredictable, scary.
There's no way to talk reason into them because you would imagine like a human.
It's very easy to talk reason.
Like, hey, put the grenade down.
But a monkey, like you can't really talk to these animals.
Like, I'm going to tell Mengo to put the grenade down.
Like, my dog doesn't know what I'm saying.
He starts screaming at Sultanate in front of everyone.
The children, his parents, Sultanate's brother, he doesn't care.
He's yelling at the top of his lungs at her.
What right do you have to give away my gifts?
I gave them to you.
I'm not even thinking about my feelings at all.
A few people have bisoned by his side.
They try to get involved.
Come on, it's just perfume.
It's not that big of a deal.
I'm sure Sultanate just wanted to be polite.
Eventually his parents are trying to tell him, okay, that's enough bisoned by him.
But he turns on them, his parents.
He's screaming at his dad a fucking stay out of it because all his dad ever did is ruin
his life and his mom's life.
At one point he starts yelling at his mom for spending so much time with Sultanate.
Apparently his mom lives in the same apartment building just two floors down and out of obligation
Sultanate would spend a lot of time taking care of bison bives mom because she's trying
to be a good daughter-in-law.
But bison bives did not like that.
He just straight up tells his parents to shut the fuck up essentially.
And eventually the whole thing kind of quits down and Ipek, like I said, he had plans
for New Year's and he was just stopping by and he's very hesitant to leave now.
And his sister is like, oh, it's okay.
Like everything's good now.
And he's like, you promise me you're going to call me if something happens and you call
me tomorrow when you wake up.
And she's like, yes, go, go, go, it's okay.
And as he's walking out, bison bives mom catches up with him.
So this is his little sister's mother-in-law, the wife of a very powerful family and she
just starts profusely apologizing.
But something about the way that she's apologizing is making Ipek feel weird.
It's not that she's apologizing that her son is treating Sultanate like that, but she's
apologizing that he saw it, that he had to see his sister get yelled at.
It's more of sorry you had to see that versus I'm so sorry that my son did that.
Like I'll make sure it never happens again.
It wasn't that.
When he gets mad, did you see if it's like his whole face changes?
Is it, was it very slow?
It's like more mad and more slow than the people, is it like instant?
So it's like totally different people.
And as far as we thought, the Sultanate, the person he presented himself before the marriage
was totally different as the person did after the marriage.
And at that point during the new year event, so on, he had this like face, you know, aggressive
face, but there was no physical abuse.
So he was screaming around, but he was far away and eventually that was the first red
flock.
And his mom went to bed and she was hugging me and saying I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
She was almost crying.
And as she used elders and felt very uncomfortable because she was feeling that really kind of
because of me, because it was looking like she was feeling that because I saw it, not
because she needed his, she said that, but because I saw it.
The next day, I bet Carl Sultanate and she tells him, vision by I've lost his mind
the night before.
He left after her brother left and he left maybe like 15 minutes before midnight.
So 1145.
And the tradition typically is kids get to open presents on new years, like right when the
clock hits zero or midnight, he walked out 15 minutes before.
But if you're an adult here, what do you do?
The children are already witnessing this weird aggressive tantrum from their dad, the fun
atmosphere of New Year's is ruined.
The best thing to try and do and lift their spirits is to let them open presents at the
time that they were expecting to open presents.
But around 1205, five minutes after midnight, five minutes after the presents are opened,
vision by walks back into the apartment sees all the presents are opened, any flips
a table.
Literally, he flips the entire dining table with all the glass dishes, the food, the plates,
everything that Sultanate had been stressing to make perfect flipped onto the ground.
Ultimately, the whole ordeal felt incredibly alarming, but also very childish, like a little
nepot-baby politician throwing a tantrum at no point did vision by ever get into Sultanate
space or up close and personal with her.
Even the things he was saying, he was saying things like, why don't you care about how
I feel?
That was my present that I wanted you to have.
Why don't you think about me?
I picked it for you.
So do you see why Ipec sees it more as childish than like, oh, he's violent?
Because it's very like me.
Why don't you care about me?
Oh, you're saying the brother at that point thought he's just a giant baby that will throw
a tantrum.
Yes.
Because even the words he's saying is like, it's not like how dare you.
Like you're grow, it's very like my feelings I wanted you to have it from me.
Like it's God.
It feels very childish, even the presence that the kids opened, he was crying, like he
wasn't crying, he was screaming.
Why don't you care about how I feel I picked them out?
I wanted to see them open it.
He did.
Think it's a very red flag.
And he saw it as a strong like, okay, I need to keep my eye out on this guy.
But he was not connecting it as he is hitting my sister.
Yeah.
And he wasn't ever getting in front of Sultanate space.
Like it wasn't anything like that.
But I'd bec decided ever since that day, he was going to keep an eye on Bishinbive.
Likely every few seconds on the drive there are Sultanate's brother.
I'd bec is trying to calm down his own emotions because now three months later, he's gotten
that picture of his sister with the two black eyes and he was quote, crazy mad.
But he needs to stay focused on his goal, which is to drive over to Bishinbive in Sultanate's
home, bring home Sultanate.
That's it.
Nothing else matters.
Sultanate's brother arrives at Bishinbive's house and he's staring at Bishinbive whose
body language is so relaxed, infuriatingly relaxed.
Why is he not freaking out?
Where is Sultanate?
Bishinbive just shrugs.
I don't know.
I beg said it was completely mind blowing at this point.
What do you mean you don't know where my sister is?
I'm on her, find my iPhone and it's telling me that she's in the apartment, but you're
telling me she's not in the apartment.
So where is she?
What do you mean you don't know?
He gets into the apartment searches the entire place.
She's not in there and the whole time Bishinbive is calm.
Just like, yeah, well, how would I know?
And that calmness is making I beg even more emotional.
His sister is missing.
The last thing he saw of her were pictures of her completely bruised face.
Why the hell is Bishinbive her own husband so calm?
It's driving him mad.
I beg is searching the entire place in Bishinbive?
I think even if I knew a stranger was missing, I would have more emotions than him.
That is to Sultanate's brother, calls Bishinbive's mom.
And he says, your son, your criminal beat his wife and now she's missing.
This is when Bishinbive is no longer calm because there's only two things in the world
that Bishinbive cares about.
Want what the public thinks of him and two, what is mommy thinks of him?
Bishinbive starts going off on I beg.
Don't get involved.
It's not your business.
This is our family.
It's our relationship.
She's part of my family.
Now she's no longer yours.
Sultanate is no longer part of his family because she's now Bishinbive's wife.
It's very traditional when you get married, the wife becomes the husband's family.
He's trying to pull I beg out of the apartment, trying to forcibly push him out, yanking his
arm.
And there was an altercation.
The night of March, now it's March 21st, 2023.
And it has been described as a tornado.
The two turn into a tornado in that apartment.
They're holding onto each other, throwing each other onto the wall.
The ground breaking glass doors.
Sultanate's brother doesn't really remember too much from that fight.
Except at one point, it just stopped because he wanted to continue looking for a sister.
She was somewhere in this building and he was sure of it.
He said, I thought she was dying.
My sister sends photos like this and now she's nowhere to be found.
He starts storming through the entire upscale condo building.
He does not care if he's disturbing the residents.
He needs to find his baby sister.
The whole apartment building is incredibly well made, meaning the whole place is soundproof.
The doors are thick and massive.
Once you're inside of a unit, you can barely hear what's going on.
It's going on in the hallway.
Ipec already went through Bition Bives entire apartment, but he knows that Bition Bives mom,
like I said, lives two floors down.
So he's running down the stairs, banging on the door.
Nobody's answering.
He's jiggling the door handle.
He's kicking it until it completely breaks off and now there's just a hole in the door
where the door handle used to be.
Wow.
He's trying to kick open the door and screaming into the circular opening of the door.
Finally it opens.
And Ipec is staring at his little sister, but it's not his little sister.
Like some people you walk around and you're like, wow, that person is so alive.
Like I know it sounds weird to say because technically we're all alive if we're walking
around, but some people they look sleepy, tired, bored, others they look like they're
over it.
She looks like the embodiment of life.
That is how people describe salt and not.
Even when she was a kid, oh my god, okay, so she had this bright acid orange jumpsuit
that you cannot pay her to take off.
It was the color of a creamsicle.
But the worst part is it's made out of like the rainproof windbreaker material.
So every time she would walk it would just, and she had these bright orange bangs to
match with it.
And it just doesn't matter if people were making fun of her walking around like a creamsicle
or if her older brother was annoyed at the whole house, new where she was because of
how loud it was, she loved that jumpsuit.
She would not take it off.
Sultanate's friend said, she's very brave, like very independent, self-sufficient.
She always had her own opinion about everything.
She was one of those few people that always clearly knew what she wanted and set very firm
boundaries, but in a very kind way.
Stubborn independence.
That's how the Nukianovas raise their children.
I mean, you make your own decisions.
You do what you choose, but you never forget that you are responsible at the end of
the day.
Like every choice you make, every decision you make, that's going to be on you.
So growing up, Sultanate was very interested in understanding how to improve the way one
experiences life.
She read psychology books, attended conferences for self-growth, evolving your character, and
a lot of these centers around being independent and knowing what you want.
She is described to have this fix it attitude.
You don't like something about your life?
Fix it.
You don't like something about your situation?
Fix it.
Except now, standing in front of Ipec in the doorway, all of that is gone.
I mean, she no longer has this crazy fighter spirit.
She seems timid.
She's like hugging herself, holding the door open.
He did notice that the bruises on her face were now brown, so almost healed, but they're
just giant blotches on her face.
The picture she sent him earlier that day had been from a week or two ago.
But again, none of that matters.
She's just staring at him.
Her eye seemed empty, and Ipec is ready to walk inside.
Come on, pack your things.
We're leaving.
We're going home.
And she just stops him.
Please just stay out of it.
Not leaving with you.
I want to figure this out myself.
This is my life and my marriage, and I'm committed to it, and it's not perfect, but I can
save it.
Ipec is staring at her.
Like, she's lost her mind.
I mean, he probably feels just so angry at what Bishop I've did to his sister, but also
so frustrated that she's not getting it because he shouts, please.
He's going to kill you if you stay.
But she just stares at her older brother and her shoulders are slumped.
I mean, where is that little girl that if used to take off her orange jumpsuit because
she liked it and nobody and nothing else mattered?
Salt and not looks up at her brother and just quietly says, I love him.
Ipec goes home alone that night.
But he does not stop trying, and it practically consumes him.
How do you get his sister out of there?
Yeah, okay.
He can drag her out there, right?
He's looking screaming, but then what?
He just holds her hostage until she realizes how horrible Bishop buy this.
So now he needs to come up with a plan for his sister.
He's looking for apartments to rent for Salt and not.
He's looking for therapists who can talk to her and show her that this is not a normal
relationship, but she won't see the therapist.
She believes she can fix this relationship.
But everything has a price.
The price that Salt and not had to pay for sending that photo to her brother, because Bishop
Ive knows that she sent that photo.
Someone by forced his own wife to strip naked and recorded humiliating videos of her for
Blackmail.
Did you know that swans only have one partner their whole life?
Swans are incredibly loyal creatures, and that's how Salt and not's parents are described.
They're swans.
They spent every waking moment and every day with each other madly in love.
This part gets a little complicated, but Kazakhstan was ruled by the USSR.
There was a riot held by Kazakhstan to gain control over their country again.
Salt and not's dad was one of the people that let a riot.
He was thrown in prison for three years for basically fighting for what he believes in.
And the whole three years, Salt and not's mom never, ever thought about leaving him.
She was loyal supportive.
She never gave up on him.
Even when he was like, go live your life.
Three years you're so young.
Salt and not is growing up seeing this like once in a lifetime love.
I mean, she knows that it's not just something that happens.
Even when times are dark, you have to push through.
You're going to be there for your partner because that's what's love.
You never give up on the person you love.
And Salt and not felt like, well, if her parents did that, she can do that with Bishen
Vive.
Even though he does not deserve it.
On top of that, Salt and not is incredibly connected to Bishen Vive's four kids from the
two previous marriages.
They love Salt and not.
They spent a lot of time together.
And I don't want to go as far to say that she saw them as her own, but she was a very
maternal person.
So there's like a million reasons why Salt and not is staying.
And Salt and not does start confiding in her brother though.
After the March incident, she does confess that Bishen Vive was constantly controlling.
Not letting her go anywhere, work, or do anything for herself.
He banned her from using Instagram.
And there were times where Salt and not did leave Bishen Vive.
She left him about eight times from March 2023 to her death about eight months later in
November 2023.
But Bishen Vive always drew her back in.
I mean, he knew exactly what to say how to behave.
I'd back with text to sister pleading her.
He would text her.
Think about just yourself for once and answer this.
Are you happy?
Is he worth it?
You can always come and live with me.
I will pay for the mortgage if necessary.
I can support you, give you all your living expenses.
Because again, Bishen Vive forced her to quit working.
We will live normally.
We need you to be happy and whole.
I love him.
He can kill you.
I can't live without him.
I swear.
Watch who a psychologist show her the photos.
I won't be able to live if I get divorced.
They will explain to you, Salt and not that this is not love.
This is some kind of mental disorder.
Please don't report it to the investigators, please.
He broke you.
No, you don't know anything.
It was my fault from the very beginning.
You don't know our relationship history.
I will kill him.
No matter how much you love him, Salt and not, I will never allow him to treat you like
that.
He's my husband.
He does everything for me and my happiness.
Sultanate's brother would get so frustrated with her.
He would say, I mean, the impact that she had on people.
She helped everyone but herself.
Side note, divorce does have a negative stigma literally everywhere in this world.
Kazakhstan included.
But I don't think that Salt and not meant the divorce text as an, oh, I'm not going to
be able to live with myself after divorce because of the way people think about me.
I think she was convinced by Bishen Vive that she could not live without him and is so
called love.
Regardless.
Sultanate's parents told her and made it very clear that divorce is welcomed in this
situation.
I think they, like most other parents around the world, could agree.
They would rather have a divorce daughter than a dead one.
The night before Salt and not Smarter, November 8, 2023, Salt and not was not having a good
night.
I mean, this is not the way that it's supposed to go.
She spent a long time getting her makeup ready for the night, not because she cares that
much, but because Bishen Vive pays two times more attention on her makeup and outfits
than she does.
And when he notices something, usually the night doesn't end well.
She had planned this whole date with her husband, Bishen Vive and a mutual friend of theirs,
Ada.
The whole thing was exciting for multiple reasons, mainly because Sultanate's friends barely
ever had time with her anymore.
I mean, at first, all of her friends thought that Bishen Vive was a very demanding husband.
Sultanate was expected to cook five dinners a week for him, get up early, whenever he gets
up in the morning to prepare him a breakfast and a coffee.
She would have to keep the house, she would have to go to networking events with him, she
would have to help him take care of his children, take care of her body so that she looks presentable
as a politician's wife.
I mean, there was a lot that she had to do, or at least that's what they thought initially.
But then she slowly starts confiding in them that Bishen Vive was physically abusive.
Her friends don't even know what to do.
I mean, she would tell her friends about what he was doing, but she would also say, please,
I don't need you to save me.
If you try to, I'm not going to talk to you.
I'm trying to make this work.
I'm going to heal him.
I'm going to bring out the best in him.
I just need your support.
Bishen Vive would play into Sultanate's feelings.
He would tell her all the time that she changed his life.
And before her, he was a cold, loveless man.
He said, I didn't realize I could be a loving, caring kind man until I met you.
You're the one that brought out everything good in me.
All those qualities, I'm changing for the better because of you.
Basically, stating that he's a broken man.
He's a cruel, evil man, but she's thawing out his eyes called heart.
She just needs to be patient because it takes time and he might relapse.
Her friend described it as being on an emotional seesaw is what she sees Sultanate go through.
He gives her enough happiness and hope so that she stays, but then it gets violent again.
Sultanate told a friend that Bishen Vive loves her, but he only knows how to love maniacally.
Sultanate said that there was this rule that they were not allowed to text or talk to Sultanate first.
Because even if there were messages not about Bishen Vive or anything weird, if he so
much saw her having a conversation with someone else, it would turn into a full blown fight.
Also this part is very strange, but it makes sense in such a sick and twisted way.
Bishen Vive almost every single night would do this thing where he keeps Sultanate up all
night long just talking to her, talking to her about his life, his work, his theories on
that I don't know philosophy just yap, yap, yap in a way.
And if she tries to doze off or wants to go to sleep, he would get violently aggressive.
Sultanate would end up severely sleep deprived, but somehow he would get three hours of sleep
and go to work and function consistently.
I have a theory that he was sleeping at work.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But Sultanate, she would get three hours of sleep and then he would have a whole day of
things that he needed her to do.
So she's like severely sleep deprived all the time.
Wow, and that's one of the worst type of torture in sleep deprivation.
Like he just refuses to let her sleep.
She mentioned this to her friend.
On one occasion, she was trying to get a good night so she was trying to sleep early.
He woke her up in the middle of the night and showed her an explicit adult video because
he was staying up to watch porn, explicit videos.
And he's like, this girl, her face is not in the video, but her body looks just like you.
Is this you?
Like it's so unhinged, right? A whole night long fight.
And there were so many identifying markers that that was not Sultanate.
Like she's like, look at that mole.
I don't have that mole.
Like, what are you saying?
But he's like, this is you.
Sultanate had this feeling that if she just had children with vision by things would get
better for two reasons.
Vision by does seem happier when he's around his kids most of the time, not all the time,
but in general, right?
And maybe having a kid makes him recenter his life and focus on what's actually important.
But also it would help with his insane jealousy.
He was always accusing her of cheating on him, being in love with other men.
And this was her way of showing him that she is dedicated.
Like this is her family now.
But she couldn't get pregnant.
According to some friends who went to the doctor with her, the doctor stated that her body
was in survival mode in a heightened state of high levels of cortisol, high levels of stress
all the time, there was no way that she was going to get pregnant.
She also was not eating a lot.
Even a housekeeper brought it up to Vision by's attention once.
Like, Sultanate is not hungry, but she needs to eat more.
Back on the night of November 8, 2023, the original plan was Sultanate was going to wear one
of those Max Mara pantsuits because Vision by really liked those.
And they were going to go to the Kazakhstan Central Concert Hall in Estana to watch one of Vision
by's favorite musicians.
Now they do make it to the concert hall.
Sultanate's wearing her Max Mara suit, but she also has tears streaming down her face and
Ada, her mutual friend, is confused on how to even comfort her.
Right when they walked into the concert hall, Vision by walks up to a young, strange woman
and kisses her on the cheek.
Right in front of his wife does not introduce her to Sultanate.
And the two, Vision by, and this woman, walk off together and disappear for 40 minutes.
Right in front of Sultanate.
She doing God knows what.
So they're arriving at the concert hall.
She's crying already.
No.
She's happy, walks in.
And then he walks over to a young woman, kisses her on the cheek, doesn't and just walks
away with her.
Okay.
And so during that 40 minutes, she starts crying with her friend Ada.
I mean, clearly, this is not any sort of innocent situation because Vision by've cheated
on her constantly and she knew she found out.
So what is he doing?
That's how Vision by've decides to start the evening.
According to Sultanate's friend, that was there.
I mean, it was the beginning of the end of the night because by the time that Vision
by've came back, Sultanate is in tears and Vision by've drags her out of the concert hall.
It would be the last time Sultanate's friend would see her alive.
Sultanate and Vision by've arrive at the BAU restaurant after they leave the concert.
I guess the plan from Vision by's perspective is to talk things through or just to yell
at Sultanate and eat a late dinner.
Sultanate, she just wants to leave.
She wants to go to her brother's house and stay with Ipe back.
She's done with Vision by've around 1230 AM.
Sultanate tells her husband that she's called a cab and she's done.
She's going to leave.
But he follows her outside and won't let her.
He brings her back into the building.
Later, we see footage of them near the exit door and she's on her phone.
He's pressing up against her trying to grab at her face.
He's hovering over her.
It feels like he's watching every micro movement.
Like even just watching the, I can't breathe.
The CCTV footage, I mean, at least the ones that show of them because most of them have
been deleted intentionally, it just shows him like hovering.
Won't let her away like out of his sight just if you're suffocating.
The CCTV footage or at least the ones that show them are deleted from 1230 AM to around
5 to 6 AM.
But a security guard in the building does make no to the couple.
He has to stop Vision by from trying to drive home completely drunk.
He says that he took Vision by his keys from him and called Vision by his cousin, the
one that came to the New Year's Eve party.
Yes.
Cousin B.
Now a few things to note, it is clear that this whole plaza, this whole building, I mean,
the whole town they know who Vision by is.
The security guard does not let Vision by drive home because perhaps if something were to
happen to Vision by his, he would be the one responsible because no one's going to blame
Vision by his.
But he doesn't call Vision by his parents or even the police.
He calls Vision by his cousin, Cousin B.
Now Cousin B manages this whole building and some of the units are owned by the Vision
by family.
If not, the entirety of the building is owned by them.
At around 630 AM, Cousin B wakes up to his phone blowing up.
He angrily picks up the phone.
It's the security guard from the building.
Vision by even his wife just tried to leave, but I didn't let them because he was beyond
gone.
He's wasted.
He's so drunk.
He's in no state to operate a vehicle.
What?
OK, yeah.
I'll be right there.
Cousin B hangs up and he does not be right there.
He goes back to sleep.
A little while later, he gets another call.
This time it's the manager of the BAU restaurant where Vision by Vinceltonod are.
The restaurant manager is nowhere near as nice as the security guard.
They're practically screaming into the phone.
Vision by his here again and his wife and he's making this whole scene screaming around
the place nonstop all night.
None of the employees that came during the night shift to do repairs can even get to work
right now.
So at this point, the restaurant is closed for business, but they can't work.
There are employees there trying to fix up things and do some repair work.
Nothing.
They can't do anything.
We're not going to be ready for when the store opens if this keeps happening.
OK, got it.
I'll be right there.
But he does not be right there.
He goes back to sleep.
Meanwhile, at the restaurant, it is believed a huge fight has broken out between Vision
by Vinceltonod.
And I don't even know if fight is the right word when it's completely one sided, but
Vision by Vinceltonod physically assaulting Saltonod, taunting her for the fact that he
bought all of the clothes that she was wearing.
So remember how from 1 a.m. in the security footage, she is fully dressed in a pantsuit
and a black puffer jacket.
At 7 a.m., she is completely nude under her jacket.
Well, Saltonod, at this point, after what happened in the concert, after everything in this relationship,
she is over it.
She is exhausted.
She's done with this cheating man, his pettiness, his violence.
She can't do it anymore.
And he starts being like, I own you.
I own everything you wear.
I bought that.
I own your life.
You and me.
You have nothing without me.
And she just starts taking off her clothes because she's like, then take it.
I don't want it anymore.
I want to leave.
And I want to go stay with my brother.
I know that some netizens might think that that action is very strange, but I think you
really don't know that feeling, that feeling of whatever.
Honestly, I just don't want to do this anymore until you've been in any sort of remotely similar
situation.
She's in a position of, she just wants to leave.
She just wants to leave.
So whatever he's saying, like, take my clothes so that I can leave.
Yeah, you say you bought it?
Okay.
Have it.
I just want to go.
Yeah.
Around 7 a.m., so about 20 minutes after the manager calls cousin B, Bission Bivocene
on CCTV cameras kicking his naked wife on the ground of the restaurant.
It is mentioned by experts that it seems very deliberate that he was kicking her near
her unprotected private parts.
Bission Biv continues the torturous assault by dragging her by the hair into bathroom
stall number one.
It is believed that Sultanat was able to at least briefly get into the bathroom stall
without Bission Biv and lock herself in there, but he does beat down the door.
He breaks down the entire door.
He remains in the restroom for about 50 minutes with Sultanat.
He is seen coming out of the restroom.
He's caught by CCTV cameras.
So this whole time, there's people around.
Restaurant workers, the manager.
He's beating her all night.
She's probably crying screaming into the bathroom door, locking the door, trying to hide,
trying to show, trying to get out, trying to run away, and nobody called the cops.
Besides, they just called the cousin twice.
Yes.
I think that they felt perhaps even if they called the police, it wouldn't have done
anything.
I'm sure why they didn't call the police, honestly.
I do think they would lose their jobs.
They'd probably never get a new job again after that.
And then the police wouldn't do anything, and it would just be a mess.
Yeah, that's, I mean, I guess.
It's maybe their perspective, but still it's crazy to know that there are people there.
This is not some like warehouse desolate restaurant with nobody.
He is seen walking out of the restroom, caught on CCTV cameras, and this time he is shirtless.
He grabs a bottle of alcohol from the bar.
He came out of the restroom shirtless.
He get bare chest.
He then goes back into the restroom with a bottle of alcohol, where a sultanate is still
in the restroom, and he stays there for an additional 70 minutes, where he continues to
not only beat her, record her, make these humiliating videos of her, degrade her, but also
grab her by the throat to strangle her.
At one point she does lose consciousness, but comes back to, and he continues to beat
her further.
It is around this time 9.30 AM that Bishenbive calls his cousin, cousin B.
The same one that already got the security guard called, the manager call, and now he's
allegedly very vague on the phone.
Bishenbive just tells his cousin come to the restaurant and bring some blankets.
Cousin B shows up three calls in 30 minutes later, at around 10 AM with two due bays.
He walks into VIP room number one, where he sees sultanate laying on the couch naked.
I mean, the whole place is a mess.
There's broken dishes scattered around the room.
There's drywall that's just like dusting onto the furniture, and the toilet door in the
restroom is broken.
Bishenbive does not even address the state of the room, or his wife.
He just orders cousin B, put the blanket on her.
Bishenbive tells his cousin that sultanate his wife is sleeping.
That's why he asks for him to bring the due bays, the blankets he just needs to cover
her up.
Which makes sense.
If you have no common sense, cousin B walks up and places the blanket on sultanate.
This is three hours after the footage of her being completely beaten in the restaurant
hallway.
So likely she's bleeding and has dried blood everywhere.
But cousin B acts like suddenly he can't see a single thing.
He later tries to argue, well, she was naked.
I felt like it would be too rude to stare too closely, so I just walked over and I squinted
my eyes while I put the due bays cover on her.
But he does hear her snore.
He describes it as being pretty loud, strong breathing noises.
He thought, okay, snoring, drunk, naked, maybe it makes sense.
Which this part is from cousin B's perspective.
This is what he claims happened, but he is nowhere near as innocent as he tries to make
himself appear.
Cousin B is like Bishenbive's handyman.
If there is a door, table, peace of furniture broken from Bishenbive's violence, cousin
B would be called a fix it and it's very clear he knows what the damage is from.
So this whole, I didn't know sultanate was in pain.
She was naked.
It's not very believable.
At one point while he's adjusting sultanate's position on the sofa because Bishenbive instructed
him to, cousin B notices two things.
One, sultanate's eye is super swollen and red, but he does not look further around because
he said it would be rude.
Two, he feels sultanate grab his hand and squeeze it very tightly.
He said it's like she was trying to tell him something that she needs help, some kind
of signal.
And it was so strange.
At least cousin B thought it was so strange.
So what does he do?
He gets up and he walks out of VIP room number one.
Two and a half hours later, a little past noon, November 9th.
So this is probably at least 12 hours since the couple have been in the restaurant.
Bishenbive texts cousin B on WhatsApp instructing him to delete all the footage from the security
systems, all the CCTV footage he wants it gone he wants it deleted.
15 minutes later, Bishenbive even goes all the way down to the security room to check
on cousin B deleting everything.
They do manage to delete a lot of the footage, but not all of it.
And again, cousin B has an excuse for this.
He says, well, well, sultanate was naked.
And I thought the two of them were just having wild intimate adult sessions in the restaurant
all night and just walking around nude.
So of course, Bishenbive would want those deleted.
And of course, as his cousin, I was going to help him.
So that's why he wanted the whole thing to be live-streamed?
Yes.
Because he thought that they deleted everything and he could convince everybody he had
nothing to do with it.
And sultanate was a mentally unstable, cheating wife who took her own life.
And they're backfire because the footage was still there.
Not only the footage from the CCTV footage, but his phone footage.
Like there's so much evidence.
And I think that's scary that he is that much confidence.
Then Bishenbive asks cousin B to find sultanate's phone and drive it around town.
He tells cousin B that I'd beg sultanate's brother has been tracking her phone.
And if he sees that she's been at this restaurant for too long, he's going to get suspicious,
show up and make a whole scene about it.
This is around 2pm.
So they've been at this restaurant for like 12 hours.
They find sultanate's phone and Bishenbive instructs him, go to the gym across the street.
That's the one sultanate goes to, then go back to the apartment and just drive around
town with the phone.
This is like the type of action you do after someone has been murdered.
This is like 12 o'clock is when he instructed delete security footage.
But at this point, she's still in the room.
Still in the room.
The worst part is we know that she was actively being killed and beaten for eight hours.
But it does appear that she stayed alive for a while after that as well.
Basically just slowly die.
Cousin B leaves and Bishenbive sits there and starts making a series of phone calls.
One of them to his most trusted advisor, his psychic.
He's complaining and freaking out a bit that his wife is not waking up.
The psychic would later say that he sounds freaked out, but clearly he's not that freaked
out because at 3.30 pm, Bishenbive is seen on CCTV footage eating a whole full blown
meal in the restaurant with an influencer while his wife lay dying in a VIP booth nearby.
Who's this influencer?
She's an ethical vegan according to her blog.
She's like a food blogger.
Is it just a woman that she's seeing right now?
That's the whole thing.
Okay.
So while he's doing that, Cousin B calls a doctor and Cousin B asks, Hey, Doc, can a person
sleep for a very long time while they're drunk?
There's a woman that drank and is sleeping but she's not waking up.
Doctors like, well, how much did she drink?
We've been drinking till this morning.
Well I'm not a drug specialist but alcohol intoxication is very dangerous.
I think that you guys should immediately call an ambulance.
Cousin B mentions, but she's snoring.
Which it feels like he called already knowing what kind of answers he wanted.
And the doctor is like, again, I don't think it matters if they're snoring or not.
Alcohol intoxication is very dangerous.
Call an ambulance.
They hang up.
He does not call an ambulance.
Soon after, the influencer leaves from their little lunch date, which whole conspiracy,
okay?
The influencer, the food blogger, whatever you want to call her would later state that
all they did was talk about her potentially promoting BAU, the restaurant that they're
eating in.
So she's a food blogger and Bishenbib's mom basically owns the restaurant.
She said that they barely, her ambition bifurcally knew each other.
They met each other at the golf course and he wanted her to advertise his restaurant for
him.
But the thing is, she's got like 10,000 followers, which is a lot don't get me wrong,
but you're talking about Bishenbib here.
He is not lacking an influence in the local area.
Additionally, two things are very strange about this meeting.
One, after the lunch meeting, the blogger messages Bishenbib, by the way, you smell like roses.
Which I don't know if you just send that to someone that you just met and you're only
meeting them for business related conversations, she will later state that she sent it accidentally
and it was meant for somebody else.
Some netizens believe that they already had somewhat of a relationship going on and perhaps
she was his mistress already or was on her way to be.
Then there's this whole conspiracy about the lunch date.
Some state that from not too close up, the influencer slightly resembles Sultana.
But you don't have a very good camera, which CCTV cameras are not known for their 4K
quality.
There were rumors that Bishenbib requested the blogger to put on some of Sultana's coat
like her blazer and walk out of the restaurant to make it appear as if Sultana walked out on
her own alive.
Coupled with the fact that her phone is driving around town, it seems like maybe he was hastily
putting together allegedly, according to the conspiracy, hastily putting together a plan
to get away with murder.
Both conspiracies that she was his mistress and that she was set up as Sultana's body
double to leave the restaurant alive are not proven.
Regardless, he's having lunch with a woman in VIP room 4 while Sultana is dead if not
on the brink of dying in VIP room 1.
After the blogger leaves, Bishenbib and his cousin realize that Sultana is not awake and
she is not responding to either of them.
That is when Cousinb brings in the bottle of smelling salts, the ammonia, instructed by Bishenbib
and tries to put it under Sultana's nose to wake her up.
And like I said, NFL players, they can knock out an NFL player.
It's crazy.
It's not working though.
They're placing it right under her nose, no reaction.
Bishenbib kind of cares.
Like he cares, but he doesn't care.
He eventually tells Cousinb it's fine.
It's all good because my psychic told me that Sultana is going to wake up.
She's just resting her brain.
And then he looks down at his phone and he starts texting away.
He starts texting another woman.
So so far, he's contacted his female psychic, had lunch with a female influencer, and
then he starts texting an alleged sex worker.
Her name is saved as Yulia Super on his phone.
And allegedly, she's a sex worker that's very popular amongst wealthy businessmen.
And he messages her around 707 PM.
Now just to clarify, they got there the night of November 8th and now it is November 9th,
7 PM.
They've been there nearly a full 24 hours.
At 707 PM, he messages Yulia, what's up are you free?
Then he texts the psychic to ask if Sultana is still conscious in her mind, to which the
psychic tells him, yes she is.
Ding, his phone rings again, and now the influencer has texted him the one he just had lunch
with, text him, you smell like roses.
Then 10 minutes later, ding, Yulia, the alleged sex worker, texts him.
Yes, I just got my lashes done, but I'm free.

I'm not great at asking for help, especially when I feel overwhelmed.
It feels somehow even more overwhelming to reach out to someone and ask for support
in that moment.
But honestly, the best thing to do when you're overwhelmed is to just get it off your
chest.
That is why I really love therapy.
I always try to be this strong independent person who never needs to let out her emotions,
but that is clearly not my personality.
So for me, talking to a therapist regularly really just helps me clear my thoughts.
It's like cleaning the house.
If you don't wipe your shelves every few weeks, they're going to get really dusty and
I'm really allergic to dust.
So for me, therapy is like housekeeping for my mental health.
It lets me vent in a safe space and I've learned so many positive coping mechanisms.
I'm a natural people pleaser, so something I've been practicing is setting boundaries,
and a lot of my relationships have improved since starting therapy.
I think that anyone can benefit from a good therapy session even if you just need to get
something off your chest.
So if you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try.
It's designed to be convenient so everything is online.
You don't need to make in-person appointments or spend two hours commuting or sit in a dusty
waiting room.
All you have to do is fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist and you
can switch therapists any time for no additional charge.

feel so much cleaner.

So while his wife lay dying, after he tortured her for almost 10 hours straight, he calls
his psychic, eats breakfast with his cousin, eats lunch with his female influencer, then
texts an alleged sex worker to make plans to meet up.
And then by the end of the night, he finally calls an ambulance.
They would not arrive until 7.55 pm on November 9th.
The Putin was supposed to come around 6 pm.
All of that got canceled, I believe.
Yeah.
Okay, so that's why it cleared up.
They can call ambulance and stuff.
Yeah, because Putin is no longer coming.
Oh, like to a different place.
Yeah, because I mean his guards can't even get into the restaurant.
They won't open the doors.
Right, okay.
I can see.
Yeah.
They arrive eight minutes later and the three paramedics said it was, it was really bad.
They walked into the VIP room and there was a naked woman laying on the sofa of the VIP
room covered with a blanket.
They said that they had never seen somebody that badly bruised in their entire lives.
She is covered in bruises and blood.
They try to resuscitate one of the paramedics noted while they're drenched in sweat trying
to save Sultana's life.
Her husband, Bishop Byvin, is cousin, are in the corner just like talking about something.
The paramedic even goes as far to ask them to leave the room so that they can have no
distractions.
But it was too late.
Sultana's not had no pulse and in just another angering detail, Sultana's eyes were wide
open and her pupils were dilated.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
So when they came, she has already passed.
And her eyes are open.
Bishop Byvin, the cousin did not give a crap.
No, they're like, she's sleeping, she's resting her brain.
Initially, Bishop Byvin states that his wife fell on the toilet, hit her head and died.
She literally goes on a whole press tour with this fantastical story.
She hit her head on the toilet and then went to sleep in the most bizarre self exit that
the world has ever heard of.
But none of that makes sense.
Sultana has injuries all over her face and head, practically covering every single inch.
She has fresh wounds from that night, but also wounds from two weeks ago, one month ago,
all in various stages of healing.
So it's very clear that she was being abused for a prolonged period of time.
She also sustained a shattered nose the night of her death.
A shattered nose is pretty much as bad as a broken nose can get.
Her nose is not broken.
The bone is not broken.
It's not cricket either.
It's completely shattered.
Her nose bone has been shattered into dozens of pieces.
Her entire face left ear behind her ears.
Chin eyes.
They all had abrasions and bruises.
Her chin had an open wound.
She had hemorrhages and the soft tissues all over her face.
And in a really grim discovery, Sultana was found to have been suffering.
From a subdural hematoma, meaning that there was a build up of blood in her brain.
subdural hematomas can be life threatening and you need immediate medical care if you
have one.
Sultana's brain bleed happened a month prior to her death.
There was just a pool of blood.
Her brain was bleeding.
A month prior would have been around October 9th, October 10th.
October 10th was also the day that Sultana left a letter for Bishin' Bive and she hoped
it would be her last letter.
It reads, I'm leaving for good this time.
These days I realize that there are no more feelings.
I don't want to save anything anymore and I can't.
You didn't even apologize or do anything about your betrayal.
Allegedly, she had come home one night and saw that the bed had eyelashes, lipstick,
and makeup on it.
They're marital bed.
And in the toilet bowl, she saw two used condoms.
The note continues, you blame me for everything and insist that I see some sort of psychotherapist.
They're so blind, I can't stand it anymore.
Forgive me, forget me, and just let me go.
She writes about how Bishin' Bive's mom and his psychic keep whispering in his ear about
Sultana and how he chooses to believe them over her.
She said, after analyzing our marriage, I realize that everything is going in circles.
Prove to me that it wasn't that you can love me, that you can be faithful, honest, and caring.
I will prove to you that I will be a good wife and make you the happiest you can ever be.
I don't want to believe articles in these books because they read books that stated that
he's a narcissist and he openly admitted it.
And she said, I don't want to believe those.
I want to believe you.
And because I was jealous, because of the blackmail you had, because I was not protected
in any way, I kept apologizing, but you decided to get rid of me.
But then that didn't work and we got back together.
But now I will get rid of you.
I will take a walk.
I will walk around, look for a replacement for you.
And if I don't find you, I'll come back, okay?
Which that last part has been picked apart by some netizens.
It sounds like her repeating something he says often to her.
It seems like he always says, oh, you can just walk around and find a replacement for you.
Because it's just the way it said is very much like, okay, like why don't I do it now?
To which Bishop Vive just responds to the emotionally raw letter with, she screwed herself up
by reading some articles and books.
Saying like she read articles and books and got in her head.
When did he say that?
In court later.
Wow.
But that was around the same time that her brain bleed took place.
Bishop Vive was arrested at the restaurant November 9, 2023.
Even his arrest was a controversy.
There is body camp footage that was played in court after the arrest where the officers
walked Bishop Vive into the police station, uncuff him almost immediately, let him out back,
outside, and they're all him, police officers, smoking cigarettes underneath the moonlight,
like their old pals.
Then one of the officers tries to sympathize with Bishop Vive.
He knows that his wife is brutally killed in the restaurant.
He knows that the whole VIP room has been torn up and he just says, she probably provoked
him.
She was probably nagging.
I'd beck.
Saltonott's brother had just gotten his food delivery.
He was sitting down at his dining table and he was taking a few days off work because
he had come down with this sort of bug or flu.
He can't even make his own dinner.
And he sits down and his fork is mid-air when his phone starts buzzing.
A mutual friend.
And she's screaming, she's nervous.
She's like, what's wrong?
Is it happening?
Is it true?
Is it true?
Do you know or not?
Where are you?
Did this happen?
And he's so confused.
He's like, you need to calm down and tell me what's going on.
She's like, check WhatsApp.
He checks WhatsApp and someone from the police force had leaked information that a couple
had gotten into a fight at the BAU restaurant and one of them had sustained fatal wounds.
I'd beck starts calling his sister, no response, no response so he calls the emergency dispatch.
He's calling them and he's telling them about the WhatsApp post and they already know
who he's talking about.
They cut him off in the middle of his explanation and they tell him, go to the BAU restaurant.
You'll find out more but we're so sorry for your loss.
He goes into complete denial in shock.
He tries to reason with himself the whole drive to the restaurant.
I mean, first of all, the dispatch center, they don't know the real time news and updates.
They're probably wrong.
On his way to the restaurant, their dad calls him and he just tells his son, I'd beck,
in the most serious voice that I'd beck has ever heard.
You go get sultana.
You take her away and look after her in the hospital.
So they think that maybe she's just injured.
I'd beck hangs up and the cab pulls up in front of the restaurant.
He basically jumps out while the cab is still pulling up and he's running inside the restaurant
trying to get up the stairs.
Police are screaming after him like, hey, what are you doing?
Who are you?
What are you doing?
I'm her brother.
I'm her brother.
They told me to come here.
They called me.
They said, my little sister is here.
What's going on?
The officers suddenly get very quiet.
They don't know how to respond.
And instead of explaining to I back in a way that is, makes sense.
They just blurt out, we're so sorry for your loss.
And that is how I back finds out that his little sister was killed.
But even then, he still doesn't understand.
He's screaming.
I mean, what do you mean?
What's happening?
Where is she?
The cops just keep repeating.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I back said that he lost himself for a few minutes there.
He sat down and he knew that he needed to make that call.
He's got to call his parents and somehow tell them what happened.
He calls his dad and it's kind of like his dad already knew.
At one point, I back just hears his mom in the background screaming.
And I just lost myself for a couple of minutes.
Sit down.
And I knew that right now I have to make a call to my parents and somehow tell them I call
my dad.
As far as I understand, he answers me like on the other.
So when he was asking, so what happened, he was already crying.
I said that it's all true that I was killed by the defendant.
And at that point, I heard my mom starting to scream.
That was the night.
And then the police stopped me with a bracelet.
That's why I put it on paper or the digital paper that is in this story.
When I back comes back home that night, he just remembers I have to go to sleep because
tomorrow is so busy.
I have to go to the morgue and see my sister.
I have to call some attorneys and make sure my parents are okay.
And it's just going to be a very busy day.
But he's laying in bed and he's not falling asleep.
He said it feels like the mattress is almost eating him alive.
He just keeps sinking deeper and deeper into the mattress.
It's feeling a falling.
And he said and I quote, the world was just leaving me and I'm just falling apart.
Sultanate's brother and her closest girlfriends are standing in Sultanate's old closet in
Bishop Bives apartment.
This is right after her death.
So I imagine their grief is at the highest peak.
They're here to gather all of Sultanate's belongings and they're all being thrown onto
the ground right in front of them by Bishop Bives sister.
You want her shit?
Take it.
She's throwing each piece of clothing onto the floor.
Look at all the things that my brother paid for.
But for your sister went out of his way to purchase for your sister.
She's taking each piece of clothing off the hanger and throwing it on the ground in front
of Sultanate's loved ones.
The whole day had just been a series of insults.
The first was when Bishop Bives family and his two defense attorneys refused to let Sultanate's
family and her friends to get in to get her things.
Bishop Bives sister was absolutely vile the entire time.
She's screaming at Ipec through the door.
If you come inside I'm going to plant drugs in here and act like it's Sultanate's basically
insinuating that she is going to further slander Sultanate's name.
Eventually Sultanate's family called the police.
They forced Bishop Bives family to let them in to get Sultanate's things.
At one point Bishop Bives mom just keeps complaining over and over.
I mean she's saying that this has been so stressful for her recently and her blood pressure
is through the roof and she keeps saying my blood pressure, my blood pressure.
Ipec was so sick of this he just turns and he snaps.
My parents are in the hospital for a heart condition right now because of what we're going
through.
Bishop Bives mom shuts up for a little bit.
But Bishop Bives sister starts screaming at Ipec.
So what?
So what?
Eventually the group make their way to the kitchen and now this apartment has been sealed
off for weeks.
No one was allowed in.
Bishop Bives mom walks.
No, she marches over to the stove.
Grab a pot that still has food in it because that's how it was left when Sultanate died
and before it was sealed off.
It's been there for weeks.
It's like boiled meats too and because nobody was in the apartment it is completely spoiled.
She grabs the pot of rotted meat, shoves it in Ipec's face, stares at him and spits.
Look at what kind of housekeeper your sister was.
This is so vile.
This whole family is so vile.
The scariest part of the encounter though is that while they were leaving, Bishop Bives
sister kept screaming, you will never prove that he killed her.
You'll never prove it.
You'll never ever.
She did this to herself.
She beat herself up and threw her body up against the wall.
She did that.
You can never prove it.
It's very obvious the Bishop Bives do not have a soul and they are going to fight dirty
to try and get away with murder.
But Ipec is going to fight.
Ipec knew of course that there are some things that you can never unsee.
The state of his sister's body.
Learning about exactly what happened which she went through during her not even a year-long
marriage.
You start digging and going down the path you're going to find videos, witness statements.
And once you know these things, you can never unknow it.
It's going to be with you forever.
But Ipec is going to fight for his sister because his sister was the one that told him.
He was going to help with change.
You know, and he didn't believe her then.
But maybe he does now.
He was the first person who told me that I'm my children's wife that they have different
name my wife.
That my name is probably in the help.
They see what she was doing.
The Bishop by family have access to not even just some of the most, but the most powerful
people in the nation in Kazakhstan.
Forget money.
I mean, the power of those connections is almost infinite.
And of course, they're deploying their financial resources as well.
They're buying out journalists.
They're trying to buy the media into running the story that they want, running the narrative.
Paying people to start writing salacious stories about Sultana that never happened.
They're executing a full-blown smear campaign against the victim that Bishop Ive killed.
Ipec, Sultana's brother said, we are facing a really tough enemy.
And who is capable, who is smart, and who is financially powerful.
One of the first times that Ipec laughed after his sister passed was when he was reading
the news.
And it's not a good laugh.
In Korean, we have a word called, oilpso.
It just means so ridiculous that it warrants.
You can do nothing but let out a laugh.
It was one of those laughs.
Nothing's funny about this.
But Ipec is just laughing because his life feels over already.
He lost one of the few people that he cares about what next.
Because plastered all over the news at that point is the allegation that Ipec tried to
essay Bishop Ive's ten-year-old daughter.
The word pedophilia is thrown around in every article, but Ipec feels numb.
Truly, my goal he can do is laugh.
Yeah, okay.
Sultana threw herself up against the wall she hit her head on the toilet seat.
They're going to plant drugs to slander her name.
Ipec did what to a ten-year-old.
I mean, there is nothing too dirty, too low for these people.
And then I want to say not even a few hours, a new social media post about the allegations
against Ipec start going viral.
It was made by Nazim.
Nazim is Bishop Ive's second wife.
Nazim is mother to that ten-year-old.
She comes forward on Instagram to discuss the allegations made against Sultana's brother
Ipec.
She stated, it is clear someone wants to discredit the brother of Sultana, the murder victim.
It is so easy to slander and slander for them.
No conscious, no soul, no heart.
These false allegations make Sultana's death a hundred times more painful, and now in
order to protect even my minor children's honor and dignity, I am forced to defend myself
and my daughter publicly.
My children have not only lost their stepmother Sultana, to whom they love dearly, but also
their father, Bishop Ive.
Some kind of demonic show is going on, and they have already tried to throw me and my daughter
into the furnace.
Bishim Ive's second wife and the mother of the ten-year-old girl exposed the allegations
as being entirely false.
And in case, let me just be clear, the allegations made against Ipec are entirely false, have
been debunked even by the ten-year-old's mother.
And I know that some Bishop Ive supporters might try to spin this narrative.
I don't think you have any supporters.
The journalist that he pays might try to spin the narrative.
That of course the second wife doesn't like Bishim Ive.
She divorced him.
Of course she's going to go against him.
But when they were married, Bishim Ive was on trial for bribery and corruption.
Remember that trial?
She was his attorney.
What?
The wife was the attorney?
She's a public defender.
She was his attorney, and she went to war for this man in court.
Someone who is familiar with both cases said the second wife, Nazim, she fought like a
tygress in his previous legal battles for Bishim Ive.
Do you think that she would remain silent if someone tried to essay her daughter?
But that didn't stop people from Bishim Ive's side for pushing this narrative out.
Ive said the worst part about the allegations for him though.
Honestly was the fact that Bishim Ive was willing to use his own daughter, a minor, in
these dirty games that he's playing.
Using his own daughter like an instrument in the media.
It's very unfair to this ten-year-old child who's already going through a lot.
Side note, remember that fight between Sultana's brother and Bishim Ive at the apartment
when the brother got the pictures?
This is so telling.
But Ive said during that fight, he did not see Bishim Ive as aggressive and as powerful
as he was in the CCTV footage of the restaurant.
Meaning when he's fighting someone his own size, when he's on equal footing physically,
he's not that brave.
Nazim Bishim Ive's second wife released a text message from her daughter that she shares
with Bishim Ive.
The ten-year-old?
Yeah.
And the ten-year-old had texted Sultana April 2024, five months after Sultana's death.
And she is still texting Sultana, her stepmom.
And the message reads, I miss you very much.
Dad is a terrible person.
It is a terrible and shameful thing to do to be women.
And I love you.
Bishim Ive's ex-wife released the message to the public.
She also released Sultana's very first message to her, which I'm sure it's very tricky
to be the new wife, new young wife, to reach out to your husband's ex-wife.
But Sultana texted Nazim.
Hello, Nazim.
This is Sultana.
I am grateful to you for the fact that your children treat me so well.
I am sincerely impressed by them.
They are very kind and well-mannered.
I know that that is your achievement.
And I treat you with only the utmost respect.
If you don't mind, I would love to get to know each other sometime.
Nazim the ex-wife would make a public statement after Sultana's death.
She said, almost six months later, after Sultana has died, my daughter still texts her.
And she will text Sultana pictures of her food that she's eating, her favorite dessert,
and other times she will try to call Sultana, but there is no answer.
Do the kids know?
They know.
Yeah.
Nazim the ex-wife was the same one, like I said, that defended Bishim Ive during his corruption
trial.
But now she's defending Bishim Ive's third wife, her children's stepmother.
She told the press about her relationship with Bishim Ive.
She was horrible, he would steal her phone from her, throw it in the toilet so that she
can't contact anyone for help.
He would grab the toilet seat, you know how it's kind of bolted on there.
He would yank it off, tear it off the toilet, and throw the whole porcelain seat at Nazim.
She would have to run away and lock herself in the kitchen, he would pound on the door
until it felt like it was going to break down.
She didn't even know what he was capable at this point.
He had these explosive tendencies.
If Nazim did not sew his buttons on his shirt perfectly, he would get violent.
If his socks were not washed to be the absolute crisp white socks that he preferred, he would
get violent.
Nazim never knew when he was going to get violent, what mood he was going to be in, and
he was just so toxic.
She also mentioned that he kept her sleep deprived.
And even while she was his defense attorney during his corruption trial, he was having
a full blown affair.
Every day, Nazim said she lived in fight, flight, or freeze mode, and she felt that Sultanate
likely had a very similar experience.
Except for some reason, Bishop Bive let Nazim go.
Maybe it was for the children, maybe he was already having too many affairs that he
can't even count, or perhaps for no reason at all.
When Nazim requested a divorce, it was somewhat amicable, and the two would remain co-parenting.
Nazim was able to get out with her life, but Sultanate would not.
Bishop Bive is very interesting in the sense that he just never gives up.
But every single allegation is debunked, refuted, but he is still pumping out allegation after
allegation against Sultanate's family.
Alleging that they're getting paid for interviews, they are not.
We interviewed Aitbeck, Sultanate's brother.
There was no monetary exchange in any sort of way.
He spoke with us after a long day in court running off of two hours of sleep.
He still spoke with us, because we wanted to know more about his sister.
I asked Aitbeck, which accusation has Bishop Bive made that hurt your family the most?
Honestly, yeah, I was expecting the pedagogical one.
But he responded, all the allegations against us, we are here to face it and answer.
We can break the allegations with facts and documents, say, this is a lie.
Show that this is a lie.
We can show the truth.
We can fight for ourselves.
But Sultanate is not here to fight for herself.
She's gone.
And now they're trying to make my sister's name as dirty as possible.
She was an alcoholic, addicted, drug addicted, stuff like this.
She was a slut.
She was an escort.
Bishop Bive would say these words.
She was fucking this guy.
She was fucking that guy.
We're all in the courtroom and he's saying these things.
It was hard here, but he started including death lights.
It kind of like, at some point we started laughing and it became seeming dangerous like
my parents behind me.
And I was sitting at the desk and when he said some wife, we've been so much laughing,
because not everyone understood why we laughed, but only because his accusation is absurd.
And we are saying that he is putting his words in Sultanate's mouth.
So he's saying that she said that she did that while in real, it was under country, his
mistakes, his feelings, his words.
And that's crazy.
Bishop Bive has made it his life mission to smear her name through the mud.
He alleges that Sultanate had mental health issues that she inherited from her father.
He stated it was a quote, nervous disease passed on by her father.
On top of that, he stated that Sultanate was drinking, using drugs to help with her mental
health problems, but that only made it worse because she was self-medicating.
That's why she was so unhinged, he was just trying to save her.
Sultanate's family went to a doctor to show proof that there is no history of mental
illness in their family.
Bishop Bive also claimed that she was on antipsychotics.
That's why she died the night of her death, because that mixed with alcohol was not good.
She was never prescribed any antipsychotics and there were none in her system when she
died, not that it would matter either way.
Then the allegation changed to, oh yeah, well, Sultanate was just a raging alcoholic who
just binge drink nonstop.
She just gets violent when she's drunk.
She was dancing on the table and she fell off and hit her head.
Yeah.
And then she would hit the wall, she would hit the toilet, she was just a messy, messy drunk.
The autopsy clearly states the extent of her injuries could not have been caused by a single
fall.
A number of her injuries could have been caused prior to the day and time of her death as
well.
Her toxicology screens were clear and her blood alcohol levels were so minimal they could
not even suggest impairment.
Not that it would matter.
Obviously, the autopsy results do not lie, but Bishop Bive does.
So he changes his tactic.
He's like, forget science.
Let's go with gold digging.
The narrative starts being spread.
That Sultanate is just a lazy gold digger who is never happy.
She never had enough enough enough she wanted more and more and more and more.
But what does she have to be upset about?
Bishop Bive buys her jewelry close.
They have a personal driver, a housekeeper.
She's living the life she has nothing to worry about.
She never worked.
He claims all she did was just lay around all day doing nothing.
She wouldn't even lift a finger for him.
If he requested that she even spend time with him, she would get violent.
He said, I never forbade Sultanate from work.
She herself retired from work.
Groceries would be delivered straight to the front door that we had a personal driver.
At average, I gave her about $11,000 a month for spending allowance.
To give you some context, the average yearly income of a Kazakhstan citizen is about $9,000
USD.
So that's like if someone here were to say, oh, I gave her a monthly allowance of $68,000
a month.
Clearly, this is not the type of quote information that is going to make the average Kazakhstan
citizen relate to Sultanate.
But the thing is, it's probably not even true.
Bishop Bive conveniently cannot prove that he supported Sultanate financially because
it was quote all in cash.
And Sultanate's friends and family reported that she was always asking for borrow money.
It seemed that Bishop Bive would only buy her gifts that he wanted her to be in to make
him look good.
He wants her to wear expensive clothing because it represents him.
She moves in with him, so he's not giving her any financial support.
She's just under his control.
Additionally, that might be why they never officially registered their marriage.
He did not want her to have the legal rights that a wife would have over his assets in income.
Bishop Bive also tried to alleged that Sultanate only dated married men.
She was a home record.
And when he found out about it, he confronted her and asked her why.
Why must you live like that?
She responded she needs the money.
He claims the truth is better.
Bishop Bive would not know the truth if it hit him in the face.
But sadly, some people ran with this narrative.
Some netizens commented, yes, if she hadn't been so eager to marry someone so powerful
and just married an average guy, she probably would be alive right now.
Then there were allegations that Sultanate was cheating on Bishop Bive and apparently
she was pregnant clearly false and also very easily disproven with the autopsy that she
was not pregnant.
I mean, the whole thing is a massive smear campaign against Sultanate.
As of right now, he has this whole new story for November 9th.
He states that, you know what?
My version 1?
Let's forget about it.
Remember how he stated that the Sultanate had self-exited?
The words were, quote, suicide it by falling and hitting her head on the toilet and then
went to sleep?
Yeah, version 1, that was a lie.
Okay, like that was before I saw the CCTV footage.
That was before I found out that you guys still have the CCTV footage.
Okay, so anyway, the evidence is there.
Obviously, he's beating punching dragon kicking his wife to death and also the autopsy states
that the results of her death were not a self-exit.
So now his new version is, I did beat my wife.
But the beating was just kind of like a regular married couples fight.
He did not beat her with, quote, particular cruelty or intent to kill.
He said that he was just fed up with her after eight hours of mentally unstable wife
berating him, nagging him, rubbing the fact that she was cheating into his face.
He said all night long, she was attacking him.
Basically, mentally emotionally, for eight hours, so he beat her.
He was trying to beat her to kill her.
He states that she had prior injuries and prior health conditions that was the cause of
death.
And likely, his beating did not help, but it was not the cause of her death.
Medical examiners found nail marks on her neck that looked like she had been choked.
Inbition Vive had a whole explanation for that.
He said that he was just so desperate to find a pulse on his loving wife, so maybe he
was searching too hard that his nails had dug into her neck.
He said honestly, it's kind of Sultanate's fault anyway, though, because Sultanate
was drunk, she lost her balance and fell several times and it was quite messy and as a result,
she was hit, indicating in such a flippant way if his wife is drunk, which she was not,
and acting a bit messy, which she was not, not that it would matter.
Then of course, she must be hit.
He continues, she ran into the bathroom stall, closed it from the inside, I start knocking
on the door, she's insulting me through the door, she said this is all your fault.
You're the one who brought me to this state.
I didn't understand, I was confused, and then the excitement and aggression started,
I knocked on the toilet door first and then I started punching the door, the door is thick,
so I start hitting it with a tripod from nearby and I get in and I hit her a few times,
but again, with no particular cruelty.
And as for why, he called a psychic instead of calling for help for his dying wife, he
said, yeah, that was a big mistake on my part.
He also states about beating his wife to death, it was difficult for me to accept Sultanate's
death.
I do not accept the guilt of brutally killing my wife, Sultanate.
You may hate me curse me, but before God and before you, I am ready to answer, I loved
Sultanate.
When I struck her, when I hit her, I clearly understood the main thing was not to harm
her, not cause any harm, not to hurt any important organs.
I had a feeling of some kind of internal restraint, caution in this regard I was holding myself
back, I was on the alert.
The only thing I want to say is there was no intent and no particular cruelty.
And not all the injuries were caused by him.
Bishop Bive said, she threw herself at objects with her fists and legs, I've never seen
anything like it.
I think we can operate under the assumption that anything Bishop Bive says Sultanate did,
he did.
He's basically putting his actions into Sultanate's words, which are all fake, okay, all of
his toxic violent behavior.
He is now saying on the stand that Sultanate was the one that did that and we're not dumb.
There's one story he shares in court about how Sultanate is incredibly forgetful and
always forgets where her car keys are.
So one day he tells Sultanate, hey babe, why don't we just find a place for your car keys,
one singular place that you always put them so that it'll be very easy and you'll never
forget it.
He claims she blew up on him, started cursing him out screaming, don't tell me how to live
my life, how dare you, who are you to me?
So we can assume Bishop Bive always loses his car keys and becomes violently aggressive
when someone gives him sound advice.
Bishop Bive stated that Sultanate had these insane mood swings.
She would blow up his phone if he didn't respond.
She would demand that he show her every single inch of the room that he was in on the
video calls, show her every single face of every person he was around to make sure nobody
was hiding behind the couch or something.
If he told her he would be home at 8 p.m. and he was pulling it at 8.1 p.m., she would
become violently enraged and aggressive.
So we can assume from that, Bishop Bive would face time Sultanate and demand to show him
who she was with at all times.
Side note, he would also have his house staff all spy on Sultanate while he was out of town
or gone for work.
Now Bishop Bive says about the CCTV footage of him beating his wife to death in the restaurant.
On the video, it's visible that she comes out and shouts at me.
I walked away and she starts cursing at me from behind that provoked me.
Overall, you should understand that from 9.30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m., I just listened for
6.5 hours I was subjected to severe psychological violence.
I said, Salt to calm down.
I was so angry that we had this fight.
I started kicking chairs, tables, letting off steam in the VIP lounge.
He also stated that at one point Salt to not fell down and he starts kicking her in the
thigh and buttocks area.
And mind you, like I said, she's nude, but he justifies himself with, I understood
that I couldn't and shouldn't hurt any vital organs and that's why I kicked there.
The trial is incredibly difficult for a Sultanate's family.
They have to sit there and watch the prosecutors mark on a mannequin head where all of Salt
to not injuries, fractures, and wounds are, I mean it's everywhere.
To even just read out the full list of injuries on Salt to not's body, it took the prosecutors
40 full minutes in court.
A female police officer just cut so frustrated she even asked Bishop Bive on the trial, why
couldn't you just simply have left her alone?
Why couldn't you just have left her in the restaurant and gone home peacefully and none
of this would have happened?
There were so many ridiculous moments in this trial and it's not even over, it's ongoing.
And probably the most infuriating part thus far is Salt to not's brother Aitbeck was
asked by the court whether or not his little sister, this is by the defense attorney, whether
or not Salt to not his little sister liked to be dominated or was the dominant one in
relationships.
At some point or really a lot of points in the trial, the question seems to be less of
did Bishop Bive commit murder?
And for some insane reason the question is almost, will did Salt to not deserve to be murdered?
At another point Aitbeck, Salt to not's brother becomes physically ill after seeing and hearing
about his sister's cause of death.
He runs out of the courtroom to avoid, I don't know, project how vomiting in the courtroom
and the judge reprimands him by saying he needs to ask for permission, he can't just leave
and go and come and go as he pleases.
At one point I can't believe this is real life.
The defense tried to submit pictures of the VIP room from the night of the murder to show
that the state of the room is not that bad, the furniture is not that broken, it does not
look that crazy, it looks normal here, look at this picture.
It was discovered very easily that the pictures were taken March 28th, 2024 and not November
9th, 2023.
So they just took those pictures like just now.
And we're like here, this is from the night of.
When the prosecutors called the defense out on it, the pictures mysteriously went missing
from the case files.
The defense also filed a petition to let their private forensic pathologist present his findings
to the court of what he believed was the true cause of Salt to not's death.
But the date of his report, April 2nd, 2024, Salt to not was killed November 9th, 2023.
Basically the defense gave the specialist some papers and he was like, you're right, he
did not cause her death.
The court denied the petition to which Bishop Bives Mami spoke out in court for the very
first time and she said, if you do not accept our examination here, then I believe the constitutional
rights of my son that he must defend himself and provide his arguments for the defense will
be infringed upon.
Please understand me as a mother, I speak from the bottom of my heart.
You have no heart, so moving on.
The defense also requests that the prosecutors stop using the word murder when talking about
Salt to not's death.
And he's so emotionless when he just makes up these crazy lies.
Except there were times he would be smirking and smiling during his testimony.
He would smile enough and later his attorney had to quote explain his behavior by stating,
I want to explain why my client is smiling.
When he remembers the happy memories with Salt to not, he smiles.
And Bishop Bives and his attorneys are not ashamed to play dirty at all in this trial.
April 8th, 2024, they presented a note to the court.
They alleged that it was written by Salt to not.
They're like, Salt to not wrote this, okay?
So six months before she was killed, she wrote this note.
And this is very fascinating, very believable, okay?
The note was written by Salt to not.
But it was not found in Salt to not's notebook.
It was not found in Salt to not's house.
It was found in Bishop Bives' mom's house, in Bishop Bives' mom's notebook.
And it conveniently reads, I, Salt to not, New Kianova.
Who doesn't start every letter like that?
I, Salt to not, New Kianova, I promise to restore my faith in Bishop Bives.
I promise I will trust him.
I will not be jealous.
I promise to regularly visit a psychologist and work on myself, work on my trust.
I will be sincere, obedient, and respect Bishop Bives.
I swear I will trust his opinion and believe that he wishes me the best.
The letter was so unbelievable, the prosecutor even remarks.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of this trial we have a statement from Salt
to not herself to the court that the toilet is to blame for everything.
Even the judge addressed the court and stated, it is the first time I have ever seen a wife,
give her husband such a promise and written commitment.
AKA, I don't think this is real.
The judge refused to enter the note into the case file's evidence.
The psychic that he called the day of the murder was also called in to testify.
And it's just so strange because the psychic told Bishop Bives that Salt to not was okay.
But she's in a different town and she never even saw Salt to not not saying it's her fault.
But I thought you're a psychic, right?
That's kind of how the court is approaching this.
They ask her, well, how did you know she was fine?
She responds, well, when he asked about her, I kind of entered into her.
I can't explain these situations and these sensations, but I entered into her state.
And what I felt, I said.
She was asked, do you have superpowers?
Well a little.
I mean, not so much.
Every person has this ability.
Those pretty much it.
Restaurant employees also testified.
They said Bishop Bives was just a terrible person to be around in general.
Even before November 9th, he would walk into the restaurant.
They were instructed, never look him in the eye.
Oh yeah.
He would just lash out at you for no reason at all.
They reported hearing banging from the VIP room and screaming for help to which the defense
Bishop Bives attorney said, the employee that reported hearing the banging, well, he
works with guns like the staple guns for construction.
So he could have misheard.
The food blogger that met with Bishop Bive the day of the murder was called to testify.
She was asked, did you know Bishop Bive was married?
We didn't know each other that well.
You were together for one and a half hours having lunch.
What were you talking about?
Why do people who don't know each other that well meet up for lunch?
We just talked about everything.
Did you smell alcohol on Bishop Bive?
He was normal.
I wasn't sniffing.
Saltonauts assisted.
I thought you say you smell like a rose.
That was an accident she would later claim.
Oh.
Yeah.
Her whole thing is very suspicious as well.
Saltonauts assistant testified and confirmed Bishop Bive was constantly violent.
She said the first time she saw the marks where July 5th, 2023, four months before Saltonaut
was killed.
Saltonaut was covered entirely in bruises.
She could also see red markings around her neck and she demanded to know what it was and
Saltonaut responded that he tried to strangle her with a rope.
One of Saltonauts friends presented a text message to the court during her testimony and
it's from Saltonaut.
It reads, I feel sorry for Bishop Bive.
He's really injured and sick and I kind of tried to help him but I think I'm ruining
myself.
And the terrifying part of this is that one of the only reasons Bishop Bive is even
on trial right now is because the Nukia Nova family has been successful in raising awareness
and demanding a fair and open trial.
December 2023, a year after Saltonaut and Bishop Bive were married, a month after her death.
Saltonaut's dad wrote an emotional letter to the president of the country.
So this is the president right after the one that Bishop Bive was the assistant for.
He was begging the president to not let his daughter's murder, a high ranking official
with money and connections, escape justice.
Meanwhile, Saltonaut's brother Ipeck launched a social media campaign and it's likely that
the public attention really helped get this case to trial.
The trial started March 27th, 2024.
Bishop Bive was charged with murder and torture.
He was facing 20 years to life.
Cousin B was charged with concealment of a crime and faces up to six years in prison.
But again, is there really a fair shot at justice?
There's a rumor going around at the detention center.
That's where Bishop Bive and his cousin are being held.
That once the lights go out, Bishop Bive and Cousin B are allowed to roam around out of
their cells.
Meanwhile, Saltonaut's family is completely shattered.
Saltonaut's dad was hospitalized pretty early on during the trial.
His body could not take on the stress.
Saltonaut's mom had to sit there and listen to Bishop Bive had the mic for hours just
landering her daughter at one point, she gets up from the second row and she starts screaming
and she doesn't even sound angry.
She sounds so exhausted.
Her voice is agonizing.
To some extent, it almost sounds like she knows nothing she says is going to matter.
Bishop Bive is not listening.
She screams, I haven't seen my daughter.
I didn't get to bury her.
I haven't seen my daughter.
How can you say that you beat her without particular cruelty?
How can you say such a thing?
You were killing her for several hours, eight hours, you were killing her.
Usually the courts are pretty strict on not allowing any sort of outburst in court, but
it seems like everyone had a slower reaction that day and they let Saltonaut's mother finish
most of what she had to say.
The whole time Bishop Bive does not even look at her.
He's just sitting there.
At one point, he sidelances at her and squintes his eyes like, wow, it's almost like he's
watching a stranger at a grocery store throw an unwarranted tantrum that he's too classy
to even look at.
And then he turns away and just stares at the ground.
As of filming this video, the trial has continued on and it's pretty unclear when the jury
will deliberate.
I'd beg Saltonaut's brother said the biggest thing that Bishop Bive cares about right now
is the public's opinion of him.
Now I would never suggest anybody leave any sort of hateful comment anywhere.
I don't think that's appropriate, but I do think it would be very nice if we all went
over to the livestream trial and commented our honest opinions of Bishop Bive.
Also because just to show that everybody's watching this, that everybody cares and everyone
is going to hold every single person in that room accountable if justice is not served.
Bishop Bive will be remembered as a nepotbaby lying killer while Saltonaut's legacy is,
well, there's so many things, but one of them is a monumental law that was passed, appropriately
named Saltonaut's law.
Signed by the president of Kazakhstan in April of 2024, it strengthens protections for
women, increases punishments for assault, child abuse, and as say for minors as well as
bullying.
This is a huge deal.
Considering in 2017, Kazakhstan had previously decriminalized beatings and minor physical
damages, salts.
And a lot of that mainly impacted domestic violence, meaning you could assault your partner
and just get a small find or a weekend in jail.
Saltonaut's law reverses that and increases penalties and charges for offenders.
Bishop Bive is facing 20 years to life in prison, which honestly, I don't know if that matters
because last time he was sentenced to 10 years and let out in two.
And the most infuriating part is that had Bishop Bive been forced to serve his full sentence,
he likely would have never met Saltonaut.
I asked Saltonaut's brother if Saltonaut was watching over him right now, what he thought
she would say to him.
And I don't know if the question was too much.
I told him he could skip it, but immediately his eyes went up as if he was seeing Saltonaut
and he said, I just hope that she would say I'm doing the right thing.
In terms of justice, in terms of, I believe she would tell me that I'm doing good.
Yeah, I hope so.
I don't know how to answer this.
A hope that she would say that I'm in right thing, in terms of the justice, in terms of
justice.
I feel like through this case, I think I almost turned into an older brother, I think you're
not just for Saltonaut, but for a lot of women in Kazakhstan.
And I think Saltonaut would be very proud of him.
And also smiling about his birth charts because she was right.
I'm going to link his social media down in the description and in the comments so you guys
can get the latest updates from him, but also to show support.
There were a few scammers trying to use Saltonaut's name to get donations, but as of right now
there are currently no fundraising campaigns or donation systems set up for Saltonaut's
case.
But if that changes, you're going to find out through I-It Back.
I also asked him what we can do to help.
If there's anything, just one thing that we can do.
And he said, when everything first happened, a lot of people messaged me asking me how
they can help.
And there's almost nothing that people can do to change the fact that it already happened.
But a lot of women reached out to me saying that they need help.
They are telling me that they understand Saltonaut and they're living her life right now.
So they're a lives are in jeopardy.
They are in abusive relationships.
I-It Back has already set up a foundation.
I believe it's like a system where if someone is being abused by their partner, they can
message a group of people that can pick them up and take them away safely.
So they're working on building a structure to help women in these types of relationships.
But he said if there is one thing that we can do here in America is be more kind to each
other.
Provide help to those in need.
That will be the best way to respect Saltonaut and the things she did in her life and the
sacrifices she made.
But I do think that there is one other thing we can do.
I think we can keep an eye out on this case.
And if Saltonaut does not get justice, I think we can raise help.
But that is it for today's episode.
What are your thoughts on this case?
And please stay safe.
Go follow I-Back on Instagram.
Let's stay updated on this and let's talk about this case.
So with that being said, I will see you guys in the next one.
Please be safe.
Bye.
