Tragedy Strikes in Chita: A Family of Three Found Dead in High-Rise Apartment
A shocking discovery was made in a high-rise apartment building in Chita, Russia, on the evening of May 19. The lifeless bodies of a 35-year-old man and his 7-year-old son were found in one of the units, with a drowned cat also present. Preliminary investigations suggest that the man may have taken his own life, having killed his son before doing so.
Residents of the building reported no signs of trouble, with the family seeming calm and peaceful. Neighbors did not hear any disturbances or cries for help. One resident, Elena P., was at work during the day and returned home to find her door jammed and her family unresponsive.
Upon entering her apartment, Elena discovered a horrifying scene. The boy's lifeless body lay on the couch, surrounded by medals earned from his accomplishments in football and Thai boxing. The man was found in another room, also unresponsive.
Investigators are now working to determine the motive behind the tragic event. Preliminary observations suggest that a planned arson may have taken place, as gasoline was discovered throughout the apartment. However, this suspected act of arson did not come to fruition.
Following the discovery, a criminal case has been opened under the charge of the murder of a minor. The Investigative Committee of the Zabaykalsky Krai commented that investigators are meticulously examining the premises and questioning potential witnesses. Authorities suspect that the man first killed his son, then drowned the cat before taking his own life, but the specific motive remains a mystery.
Elena, who is from Kursk, had settled in Chita with her husband. They lived in a well-maintained apartment in the new high-rise. The investigation is ongoing, with expert analysis being conducted to shed light on the reasons behind the tragedy. The case is currently under special control.
