Former Orderly on Trial for Allegedly Assaulting Man, Causing Severe Injuries and Kidney Loss
A former orderly is on trial in Kostanay for allegedly assaulting a 61-year-old man, resulting in severe injuries and the loss of his kidney. The defendant, a 39-year-old man, admits guilt but denies causing grievous harm.
The victim was found disoriented and complaining of lower back pain near a bus stop. He was later diagnosed with multiple ruptures of the right kidney, a retroperitoneal hematoma, severe post-hemorrhagic anemia, and fractured ribs. The assault was captured on social media by the victim's daughter. The orderly, who was dismissed after the incident, had previously accused the victim of verbal abuse, but the court acquitted the patient. The trial is ongoing, with the defense arguing for an additional forensic examination. The victim denies having any injuries before being taken to the facility. The defendant is charged with intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm.
The supreme court in Kostanay is hearing the case, with the outcome yet to be determined. The assault has raised questions about the safety and oversight of sobering-up centers, and the impact of such incidents on vulnerable individuals.
