This was announced by senior assistant to the head of the Investigative Committee for the Trans-Baikal Territory Egor Markov.

“The police officers, at our request, found the mother, we interrogated her and sent her to her mother, the grandmother of the children,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Earlier, the UK opened a criminal case of negligence in connection with the residence of four children in inappropriate conditions in Chita.

The alleged father of the children with whom they lived was wanted on charges of moderate harm to health. He was detained and sent to jail.

The Commissioner for the Rights of the Child in Russia, Anna Kuznetsova, said that the issue of the future fate of children is currently being decided.

According to her, they have a grandmother who is already raising their older brother.
