A 29-year-old local resident from the Kemerovo region stands accused of torturing his 11-year-old daughter. The accusation came to light through statements from the district investigation department of the Investigative Committee, which confirmed that an official inquiry is underway and that the case is being handled with close scrutiny.
According to investigators, the abuse occurred over several months, from November 2022 to March 2023. Allegations describe severe physical assaults by a woman described in reports as intoxicated during much of this period, resulting in grave harm to the young girl. After the child endured further mistreatment, she sought help from friends, recounting the cruelty she faced at home and the danger posed by her mother’s behavior.
Following these disclosures, the schoolgirl was removed from the family environment under protective measures to ensure her safety. Local authorities and social services worked in concert to secure safe placement for the child while authorities continued the investigation and assessed the family situation to determine ongoing needs and supports for the girl’s welfare.
Officials noted that the family had previously not been subject to law enforcement intervention. The accused has acknowledged responsibility and is cooperating with investigators as the process moves forward. The investigation remains active as forensic analyses and additional inquiries are conducted to establish a comprehensive account of the events and to determine appropriate charges based on the evidence collected.
Ongoing forensic examinations are evaluating the extent of injuries and medical complications arising from the alleged abuse. The authorities emphasize the importance of swift protective action for children in potentially dangerous homes and stress the commitment to a thorough, legally rigorous process that respects the rights of all parties involved while prioritizing the child’s safety and well-being.
In related developments, reports have indicated that a man previously described as a stepfather in another region, Chelyabinsk, faced a serious criminal case. He was sentenced to a long term in prison following the murder of his two-year-old stepson, illustrating broader concerns about family violence and the severe consequences such acts can carry under the law. These cases underscore ongoing efforts to protect vulnerable children and to pursue accountability for those who harm them, regardless of jurisdiction or familial ties.
