The investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee for the Udmurt Republic have launched a criminal investigation into death of a child in a kindergarten (part 1 of article 109 of the RF Penal Code – reckless homicide).

According to investigators, on 30 July 2014, a 4-year-old boy in a kindergarten in the village of Uva remaining unattended by the staff or any adults climbed old wall bars and fell. The boy died of the injuries sustained as a result of the fall. During the preliminary investigation the investigators found that the bars (according to the staff) were used for household needs (to dry carpets) and no children were allowed to go near them.

At present investigating and search operations are underway to find out all the circumstances of the crime. Identifying and prosecution of the responsible ones are being under discussion. The investigation is ongoing.
