The interrogation of the teenager was conducted with the participation of a family and child protection specialist.

After receiving information about the tragic incident, the authorized representative of the akiykatchi in the Issyk-Kul region began work to protect the rights of the children, in cooperation with other regional authorities.
On February 26, staff from the institute visited the children to assess their condition and needs.
The family living in the Ak-Suu district consists of several children. The girl, who is the eldest, studies at a vocational college, while her two younger sisters are 15 and 6 years old, and her brother is 14 years old.
The family was registered as low-income, and since 2018, their mother had been receiving child benefits. According to local authorities, last year, with the help of charitable foundations, a house was built for the family. Additionally, the village council provided financial assistance, as the woman was raising the children alone after the divorce.
Currently, the children are under the care of their aunt, and the issue of establishing official guardianship will be considered soon. The pregnant minor also remains with relatives.
The police are conducting an investigation based on witness testimonies.
