  • Death of a Soldier

    A tragic story I came across on the death of a soldier from Aktobe. Apparently on March 4, Sergeant Marat Serkebayev, commander of novice platoon 97617, stationed in Almaty oblast, hit Private Azamat Orazbayev, killing him on the spot from failure of the heart and lungs.

    According to Megapolis (which has the most detailed account of the incident), the commanding Lieutenant assembled the battalion for the usual end of the day debriefing when he was summoned by his commanding officer.
