“On February 4 of this year, at about 3:00 (local time), a message was received that the bodies of a 69-year-old woman, as well as three children aged 11 and 12, were found in a private house in the city of Guryevsk,” said the press release.
A criminal case has been instituted on this fact about causing death by negligence to two or more persons.
“The 37-year-old resident of the city of Guryevsk went to work on a night shift, leaving her 12-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son under the supervision of a 69-year-old grandmother. Later, an 11-year-old neighbor came to visit the children and stayed with them for the night, ”the department said.
At night, their neighbors saw a fire in the house and called the Ministry of Emergency Situations, which, after putting out the fire, found a pensioner and children without signs of life in the room in their sleeping places.
According to preliminary data, the fire was located in the kitchen and could result from a short circuit in the wiring.
Earlier, kp.ru reported that a fire check was launched in Primorsky Krai, due to which a large family was left homeless.
