Bishimbayev, charged with killing his wife, Saltanat Nukenova, has touched a nerve in the Central Asian country. Tens of thousands of people have signed petitions calling for harsher penalties for domestic violence, and on April 11, senators approved a bill toughening penalties for spousal abuse, and President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed the measure into law four days later.
