According to investigators, on 15 December 2016, about 2:30 PM, while playing on a playground near a house in the town of Mytishchi a child fell and got both of his feet inside a hand snow plow operated by a worker of Lesparkkhoz, a municipal state-funded institution, who was clearing snow from the playground. The victim’s feet were extricated from the machine and the victim was taken to the Mytishchi Town Clinical Hospital where doctors confirmed grievous bodily harm.

At present, necessary investigative operations are underway to find out all the circumstances surrounding the crime. The investigators are questioning the management and staff of the said institution and are going to give legal assessment to their actions (omission). In addition, confiscated documents including those regulating the snow clearing operations are being studied.
