A tragic incident unfolded in Russia where a newborn baby lost its life allegedly after being thrown from a window by their five-year-old sister. The distressing event took place while the mother left the two children alone at home while her husband was at work. Passersby heard a young girl’s screams and discovered the lifeless infant on the ground below a fourth-floor window.
Witnesses expressed shock and described feeling weak at the heartbreaking scene. Emergency responders confirmed the baby’s death at the scene after the fall from a residential building in the village of Vasilyevo, Russia.
Russian authorities have initiated a criminal investigation into the infant’s death. The mother may face legal consequences as investigators delve into whether the five-year-old’s actions stemmed from jealousy towards the new baby. The circumstances of why the children were unsupervised are also under scrutiny.
Mikhail Afanasyev, the District head of Zelenodolsk, conveyed condolences to the bereaved family and emphasized the importance of parental vigilance to prevent such tragedies. The Russian Investigative Committee is leading the inquiry into the incident.
