A Russian woman was shot in the head by her four-year-old daughter and her four-year-old son, claiming she was tired of them.
The 28-year-old mother closed the door of the house, to prevent the young from escaping, and stood to see what had happened to them.
According to police investigations, the mother decided to get rid of her two children after her husband refused to put the children in an orphanage.
The mother, who was under the influence of alcohol, ignited the fire in furniture made of wood after pouring large amounts of gasoline on it, rushed out and closed the door behind her.
As soon as the flames and black smoke were seen, a neighbor rushed to save the two children, while the mother stood outside and saw the raging fire without doing anything.
The young man was able to save the girl and carry her out, while the other child was not found because of heavy smoke, and then the savior lost consciousness.
The 18-month-old girl was taken to hospital in critical condition by the severe burns she sustained.
The mother faces a murder charge and a sentence of up to 20 years' imprisonment if found guilty.
