Murder Trial Takes Unexpected Turn: Defendant Requests Lie Detector Test

The trial of Didar Kaliakhmet, accused in the murder of 16-year-old Sherzat Polat in Talgar, Kazakhstan, took a surprising turn today. During questioning, Kaliakhmet, unable to provide clear answers to the victim's lawyers, unexpectedly suggested a lie detector test. "They say I don't know anything. It's the age of technology. Ask me on a lie detector. Did I hit him? Did I cut him? Did I kill him? I'll answer 'yes' or 'no'," Kaliakhmet stated. However, the judge dismissed the request, stating there was no need for such a procedure. One of the lawyers expressed bewilderment at Kaliakhmet's lack of memory, highlighting the gravity of the charges. The trial continues.
