“True, we confirm this information. The dead were buried secretly to make it difficult to identify riot participants,” Mr. Azirbek is quoted as saying by the Almaty Tragedy Telegram channel which posts official data on the January events in Kazakhstan.

Earlier, the Almaty Police Department Chief, Kanat Taimerdenov, said that unknown persons attacked the morgues seven times in January. Forty-one bodies of the dead were stolen.
