Eduard Tumanov, a renowned Russian forensic expert featured in an RT article on staged murders in Bucha, is now lending his expertise to the case of a former Kazakh minister accused of murdering his wife. The defense team of Kuandyk Bishimbayev presented a report from Russia’s Pirogov University, co-authored by Professor Evgeny Kildyushov and Associate Professor Eduard Tumanov from the Forensic Medicine Department. Despite not being an official expert opinion, Bishimbayev’s lawyers relied heavily on this document during the trial. The report falsely suggests that brain diseases, which the victim did not have, were the cause of death, deflecting from the brutal beatings that Bishimbayev himself admits to. A detailed analysis of the report can be found in the Orda.kz publication.
Insights from the Report
The report hinges on the discovery of early-stage subdural hematoma in Saltanat, dating back several weeks, as noted by Kazakh expert Takhir Khalimnazarov. Described as a “histological finding” due to its minuscule size and lack of encapsulation, Bishimbayev’s legal team attempted to inflate this tiny blood clot into a massive brain hemorrhage, leading to a significant amount of blood pooling in the brain. The expert opinion refuted this interpretation, emphasizing that the hematoma was in the process of organization, indicating a clotting process. The discrepancy between the actual findings and the defense’s narrative is stark, raising questions about the validity of the claims.
