In the remote village of Krasnaya Sopka, a tragic criminal case unfolds. The father of four young children who passed away due to insecticide poisoning stands trial in the Nazarovsky City Court. According to the charges against him, the accidental deaths of the children resulted from exposure to a harmful pesticide.

The trial is gathering steam, with the prosecution arguing that the children perished due to acute poisoning by a potent toxin. If found guilty, the accused could face up to four years in prison under Article 109 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Let's rewind the clock back to September of last year, when this horrific incident transpired. The family suffered a devastating loss, with two children aged 6 and 13 losing their lives. The other two children were rushed to the hospital but tragically succumbed to their injuries, followed by the passing of an 11-year-old girl the next morning and a 12-year-old girl the day after. The parents miraculously survived the ordeal and were hospitalized.

Authorities confirmed that the father had sprayed insecticide throughout the house just prior to the tragic incident. An examination revealed traces of the poison within the children's bodies. The prosecution alleges that the father failed to adhere to the manufacturer's instructions and safety precautions when treating his home.

The evidence presented suggests that pesticide components from the aerosol mist contaminated food, dishes, furniture, and bedroom items. The father reportedly neglected the recommended ventilation procedures, wet-cleaning of surfaces, and the manufacturer's advice to air out the house before allowing the children back in.

Witnesses summoned to the court include the accused's brother, his brother's wife, and the mother of the deceased children. The Prosecutor's Office has reported that, in general, they view the incident as a tragic accident.

When questioned at the trial, the father denied any wrongdoing but admitted to not leaving the house to air out overnight.

"The 'Dichlorvos' odor was no longer detectable," the father's statement reveals, as paraphrased by the Prosecutor's Office.

The trial is set to continue on May 21st.
