The regional government took it upon itself to organize the funeral and provide assistance to the orphans – the deceased couple still have two little girls.

how reported in the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in the Voronezh Region, the tragedy occurred in a private household on the street of Sports village, the Voronezh state farm (Novousmansky district, a suburb of Voronezh), where a family with four children lives. According to preliminary data, on the evening of August 23, a 35-year-old woman, together with her two daughters, was in the local area, where the drainage pit is located. At about 6:30 pm, a two-year-old girl stepped on the edge of a slightly opened hatch, because of which the lid toppled over and the girl fell down. First the mother rushed to help the child, then the eight-year-old sister, the 35-year-old father, as well as two neighbors – a son and father of 23 and 52 years old. Only the latter managed to get out alive, all the others died at the scene. Their bodies were removed by the Emergencies Ministry officers who arrived at the scene.

A criminal case was initiated on the fact of causing death by negligence to two or more persons (part 3 of article 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, up to four years in prison). The investigation is carried out by the first department for the investigation of especially important cases of the apparatus of the investigation department. Who can be to blame for the tragedy, the TFR has not yet commented.

According to the interlocutor of Kommersant in law enforcement agencies, most likely, the investigation will work out the guilt of the parents, since the cesspool was located on the territory of a private household.

“The main question is: who left the hatch ajar?” He says. The progress of the case was taken over by the prosecutor’s office of the Voronezh region.

“An ordinary family, with normal income, prosperous, they had no problems,” – told Kommersant the head of the Novousmansky district Dmitry Maslov. According to the official, the regional authorities decided to organize the funeral of the victims, their families will be provided with all the necessary assistance, including social rehabilitation and psychological.

Two girls were left without parents – 10 months and 6 years old. As the regional government explained to Kommersant, their own aunt, the sister of the deceased woman, can take custody of them: “Social security will provide all the necessary assistance in the prompt execution of documents and the provision of payments required by law. Also, other support measures are now being worked out. ” After the emergency, it was decided to make memos on the safe operation of drain collectors of this type and distribute them among residents of private houses. In addition, in the Novousmansky District, the condition of all sewer wells will be checked, primarily on the territory of schools and kindergartens.

The health department of the Voronezh region told Kommersant that the condition of the 52-year-old victim, who was hospitalized with poisoning, does not cause concern: “Fully conscious, his condition is satisfactory, he is being discharged today.”
