The Talas city hall has denied rumors that the man who doused his wife with gasoline and set her on fire is an employee of the municipality.

According to local authorities, the suspect, who has been detained, worked at the Municipal Enterprise "Zhashyl Charba" from July to December 2025.

This information about his employment at the city hall was previously provided by the Bakai-Ata district department of labor and social protection.

The 32-year-old man has been arrested and placed in a temporary detention facility. The investigation is being conducted by the Lenin District Department of Internal Affairs of Bishkek, and the case materials have also been forwarded to the Bakai-Ata District Department of Internal Affairs for further proceedings.

A 28-year-old woman named M.T., a resident of the village of Boo-Terek, became a victim of violence on October 15 of last year. On that day, her husband returned home in an alcoholic state, had a quarrel, beat her, and threatened to kill her. He doused her with gasoline and set her on fire. M.T. tried to extinguish the flames with water, and her cries for help were heard by passersby who took her to the hospital. After three days of treatment in Talas, due to her critical condition, she was transferred to the capital, where she spent a month in intensive care and then remained in the burn unit of the City Clinical Emergency Hospital until December 18.

On February 5, 2026, the victim again contacted the police, reporting new threats and beatings from her husband D.Z., born in 1995.
