The daughter of the murdered family in Atyrau, Akbayan Mukangaliyeva, has been discharged from hospital and is continuing outpatient treatment under the supervision of relatives. She has already started meeting with her five children, but does not yet know about the murder of her parents, brother and sister.
HOW THE TREATMENT IS PROGRESSING
According to the Telegram channel “HALYQSTAN”, after returning to Kazakhstan the woman spent several months in a mental health centre with virtually no contact with the outside world. She has now been discharged from hospital and is undergoing outpatient treatment under the supervision of relatives.
According to those close to her, even during her stay at the centre she spoke of her parents as if they were alive, missed them and wanted to return to them.
WHERE THE FIVE CHILDREN ARE NOW
The woman's five children remain in state institutions for now. Four are in the Centre for the Adaptation of Minors, and the youngest child is in a Baby Home.
Since her discharge, the mother has already begun meeting with her children.
WHY RELATIVES ARE NOT TELLING HER ABOUT THE MURDER OF HER FAMILY
According to those close to her, the woman still does not know that her parents, brother and sister were killed by Sultan Sarsemaliyev, with whom she lived for many years and by whom she had five children.
Relatives fear that this information could again have a severe impact on her condition.
