One more suspect in murdering famous Kazakhstan's figure skater Denis Ten has been arrested, Kazinform reports referring to Deputy Prosecutor General of Kazakhstan Marat Akhmetzhanov.

 

"Three people were arrested on suspicion of having committed the crime. The court sanctioned their pre-trail custody (...) the third one is detained for withholding of information," Akhmetzhanov told a press conference.

 

Her name is Zhanar Tolybayeva. The girl is also suspected of theft, the Almaty city court's release reads.

Three people??? Were she driving the get away car or something?  >:(

It's all a bit pointless unless they go after the people responsible for letting the guy who stabbed Ten loose, when he was supposed to be in jail and/or in court. They should be held to account for their irresponsible act.

Cross-country roller skiers pay tribute to Denis Ten in Astana

 

Quote

More than 150 athletes competed July 29 in the Roller Ski Cup in Astana dedicated to the memory of Kazakh figure skater Denis Ten.

 

Amateur and professional athletes took to the start across eight categories. A minute of silence preceded the start of the race in the capital’s central park, mourning the recent tragic death of the Olympic figure skater.

 

“We all knew Denis as a talented athlete who loved the sport and our country. His death is a national tragedy, he was not only a gifted figure skater, he was the ambassador of winter sports in Kazakhstan. We could not start the competition without paying tribute to Denis. We usually position these events as a ski holiday, and try to make the entertainment programme, but today our athletes went to the start in a completely different mood, the races that we conducted paid tribute to an amazing athlete and a wonderful person,” said Nikita Devyatkin, the vice-president of Kazakh cross-country skiing federation.

“For us, athletes and coaches of the national team, the Astana Cup is an opportunity to conduct an analysis of the summer training and adjust the training process. Of course, today was not the usual holiday mood, we are all still shocked by the death of Denis Ten. I think that such a real and bright person, like no other, deserves to be honoured by dedicating to him the most prestigious international competitions,” said Kazakh National Team Member Nikolai Chebotko.
