The Moscow Region investigating bodies of the Russia’s Investigative Committee have launched a criminal investigation in a crime under part 1 of article 109 of the RF Penal Code (reckless homicide) after a dead body of a one-year-old girl was found in a single-family house in Moscow Region.

It was reported earlier that at night of 15 November 2014, the girl’s body was found in a house in a non-commercial gardening society in the village of Mansurovo, Moscow Region. According to preliminary information, a family from Moscow had come to their holiday house. The girl’s mother had put the baby to sleep in a stroller and left it on the first floor. The women had gone upstairs to have a nap. At night, when the woman had gone downstairs to check on the baby, she had found her on the floor with no signs of life.

During the examination of the scene, investigators found scratches and bite marks on the girl’s body. The investigators believe that the girl might have been bitten by dogs, as there are about 10 dogs living in the premises. There were dog cages on the first floor of the house as well.

By now the investigators have assigned a forensic medical inquiry to find out the exact cause of death. Investigative operations are underway to find out all the circumstances of the crime. The investigation is ongoing.
