In the Khabarovsk Territory, authorities have announced that a suspect in a minor’s attempted murder case will be placed under arrest. This information came from the regional division of the Investigative Committee, which oversees major criminal investigations in the area.
According to an official statement from the ministry, a crime has been charged against the man, and at the inspector’s request, a court has approved a preventive measure in the form of arrest. The decision reflects the gravity of the alleged acts and the need to secure the scene for further inquiry while ensuring the suspect does not pose a risk to others during the investigation.
Investigators state that the girl’s mother had employed a nanny to care for her daughter at the family home. During a visit to a neighbor on the third floor, the woman reportedly began to cry after the nanny tried to calm the child. In a disturbing sequence, the 37-year-old neighbor who held the child at the time became overwhelmed, and the girl was accidentally dropped from the balcony of the third-floor apartment. The incident is under full criminal review as part of the ongoing inquiry into whether any tensions or neglect contributed to the events of that day.
Medical responders immediately attended to the victim, and the child is currently receiving specialized medical care at a hospital. The investigation will also scrutinize the actions of both the child’s mother and the nanny, evaluating whether any negligence, supervision lapses, or other factors influenced the outcome of the encounter and the safety of the child during that visit. Authorities emphasize that all aspects of the case will be examined to determine accountability and to prevent similar tragedies in the community.
In a related note, reports from the Leningrad region describe a separate incident in which a woman and her husband were involved in a domestic dispute that allegedly escalated to a threat to throw the baby from a balcony. While distinct in location and circumstances, the case underscores ongoing concerns about family safety and the role of authorities in intervening when domestic tensions risk harm to children. Investigators in that region are assessing the context of the threat and the appropriate protective measures for the child involved, ensuring that welfare procedures are followed and that any immediate danger is addressed promptly.
