On February 13, 2006, Särsenbajuly, along with his driver and bodyguard, was found dead with multiple gunshots in Talgar Raion, Almaty Province. The opposition politician's fellow campaigners described the murder as politically motivated and claimed that the government was directly behind the crime.
