A tragic incident in Russia has led to the death of a newborn baby who was reportedly thrown from a window by the child’s five-year-old sister. The distressing event occurred while the children were unsupervised at home as their mother was away, and the father was at work. Passersby heard a young girl’s screams from a fourth-floor window and discovered the lifeless infant on the ground below.
Witnesses were shocked by the heartbreaking scene, with emergency crews confirming the 21-day-old baby’s death at the site of the fall from a residential building in Vasilyevo, Russia. The Russian Investigative Committee has initiated a criminal investigation into the infant’s death, with a focus on whether the five-year-old’s actions stemmed from jealousy toward the new baby.
Authorities are also looking into why the children were left alone, as the possibility of negligence by the parents is being examined. The District head of Zelenodolsk, Mikhail Afanasyev, expressed condolences to the family and emphasized the importance of parental vigilance to prevent such tragedies.
