“The operation is complete. I thank the doctors and everyone who supported me. Now the healing process begins, along with a new sense of confidence. There is still surgery on my nose left,” she wrote on her social media.
The events unfolded on the morning of September 20, 2023, when Asel's ex-husband Azamat Estebesov came to her house. He used a utility knife to cut off her ears and nose. The woman has undergone several surgical procedures following this horrific incident.
Previously, she had filed a report with the police regarding the fact of rape. The Sokuluk District Court then decided to release Estebesov on probation. Later, the sentence was reviewed, and he received 8 years of imprisonment.
In January 2024, the court decided to impose a 20-year prison sentence without the possibility of probation. Additionally, he is required to pay his ex-wife 2 million soms.
