In the city of Taraz, located in the Zhambyl region, an investigation has been initiated into an incident involving the fall of two children from the window of a residential building. This was reported by Tengrinews.kz.
The mother of the injured children is being treated as a suspect, who, according to preliminary data, threw them out of the fifth-floor window.
She is currently detained and placed in a temporary detention facility. Information about the family ties between the woman and the children has not yet been disclosed by official sources.
According to the press service of the Zhambyl region police department, both minor children, a boy and a girl, were taken to a medical facility. A comprehensive investigation is underway, following which a procedural decision will be made in accordance with Kazakhstani legislation.
The police reported that, according to Article 201 of the Criminal Procedure Code, additional information cannot be disclosed.
According to the regional health department, the hospitalized children—a three-year-old and a five-year-old (born in 2021 and 2023, respectively)—suffered closed traumatic brain injuries and acute brain swelling.
Additionally, the older child was found to have a closed femoral fracture with displacement. Both children underwent a CT scan of the brain, chest, and pelvis, as well as laparosynthesis. They underwent surgery to reduce brain swelling.
An additional surgery on the femur is planned for the child born in 2021.
It is noteworthy that a similar incident occurred in 2025 in the Pavlodar region. In the summer of that year, a woman threw her two sons out of the fifth-floor window and then jumped herself.
All three were hospitalized in intensive care with serious injuries. The one-and-a-half-year-old child died two days later, while the older boy survived.
During the investigation, it was revealed that the mother had been registered at a psychiatric institution. A criminal case was initiated on charges of murder and attempted murder of minors.
As a result, the court proceedings found the woman to be insane, and she was released from criminal liability, with compulsory treatment assigned in a psychiatric hospital under close supervision.
