At the hearing on November 4, the lawyer again filed a motion to send the investigation back. He had filed the same motion earlier on October 10. But both times judge Asem Janalina denied the motions.

The lawyer believed that the rights of his client were violated, since Asem Dzhanalina denied his motion but added one more charge – damage to property.

Judge Almas Zhumagazin, that was considering the motion, denied it.
