The Sverdlovsk Region Office of the Investigative Committee continues an investigation in murder of a child under Part 2 of Article 105 of the RF Criminal Code opened after dead body of a 5-year-old girl with signs of violent death was found on the evening of 22 June 2017 in a flat in Ilyicha Avenue.
Primary investigative operations have found out that the territorial guardianship authority gave temporary custody of the girl to her aunt (sister of her late mother). According to preliminary information, the guardianship authority failed to check the woman’s living conditions, relations or lifestyle. On the afternoon of 22 June 2017, the girl’s aunt left the girl in the flat with her unemployed ex-con grandfather who abused alcohol. The same day, in the evening the man killed the child.
The regional investigative authority has, therefore, opened another investigation, this time to check into actions (omission) of officials of the guardianship authority and juvenile inspectorate. They are going to see if there signs of negligence that has entailed death of a person under part 2 of Article 293 of the RF Criminal Code.
Unfortunately, we can’t bring back the child, but what the Investigative Committee has to do now is to look into the incident in the most thorough way. The investigators are going to not only interrogate the suspect of the murder, but check thoroughly the activities of the guardianship authority and juvenile inspectorate. To do that the investigators have confiscated and are now going through documents on necessary measures that should have been taken by juvenile inspectorate, their job descriptions, etc.
If all the above mentioned information is confirmed, actions (omission) of the officials are going to be qualified as the crime.
The investigations into the murder and negligence are ongoing.
