In the Trans-Baikal Territory, a Russian man was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being found guilty of attempting to kill three children. Lenta.ru was informed about this by the joint press service of regional courts.
As the court found, in May 2026, while drunk, the man had a fight with his partner and decided to commit violence. He spilled gasoline at the entrance to the nursery, poured flammable liquid on the furniture in the rooms and threw a burning match. In the house at that moment there were his child and the children from his cohabitant’s first marriage, whom he raised for over ten years.
Afterwards, the man propped up the front door from the street and disappeared into the garage, waiting for the children to burn. The minors managed to get out of the burning house through a window and survive.
