Tragic Incident in Krasnoyarsk Krai: Four Children Die After Suspected Poisoning

In a heart-wrenching incident in Krasnoyarsk Krai, four young children tragically lost their lives due to suspected poisoning after exposure to insecticides. The father of the children admitted that their home was poorly ventilated following the application of dichlorvos, a common insecticide. According to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, the family had only opened a window to air out the house after the treatment. The father claimed that the family had spent two hours outside before re-entering the home, and since there was no lingering smell, he did not take further precautions to ventilate the premises.

Investigation Underway: Insecticides Found in Children's Bodies

Preliminary investigations revealed that components of an unidentified insecticide were found in the bodies of the deceased children. Forensic chemical examinations are ongoing, with authorities prioritizing the ingestion of these substances as the main cause of the children's deaths. The head of the regional Investigative Committee’s forensic department, Artem Krotov, stated that the insecticides used have known cardiotoxic and paralytic effects, raising serious concerns about their improper application. The investigation is considering potential criminal liability for the parents if negligence is established.

Community Response and Safety Measures

In response to the tragedy, the Investigative Committee has confiscated all dichlorvos and insect repellents from local stores in Krasnaya Sopka, where the family resided. These products are being examined to determine if they match the components found in the biological materials of the deceased children. Meanwhile, tests on food items consumed by the family revealed no safety violations, as all samples met sanitary standards. The community is in shock as they await the results of the ongoing investigations, hoping for answers and justice for the grieving family.
