The story centers on a man who envisioned raising his child as a pranoed, a term used to describe a person who supposedly sustains themselves by solar energy. Local media reported this unusual belief and its consequences within the family.

According to reports from a regional television channel, the man forbade his wife from feeding their one-month-old baby, a decision the family later described as cruel. Relatives of Oksana Mironova, the mother of the infant who died, shared these troubling details and raised concerns about the husband’s conduct.

The suspect was arrested in Sochi on March 16 after investigators gathered testimony about the child’s care and the parents’ actions surrounding the infant’s illness and death.

A Mironova relative said the mother had expressed fear about her husband’s behavior and even contemplated leaving him because of what she described as persistent mistreatment and coercive control.

“The mother did not feed the child, offering only orange juice at times. He refused to take the baby to medical appointments or doctors, and the hospital visit occurred only after Oksana sent me a photo of the child’s condition,” the relative explained in detail.

During interrogations, investigators noted that the blogger involved in the case had altered the explanation of the crime, shifting from a potential homicide attributed to a common-law spouse to a broader formulation of neglect and endangerment surrounding the infant’s death.

According to various reports, the suspect did not want to formally register the child, citing a reluctance to deal with government agencies as a reason for avoiding bureaucratic procedures.

However, on March 8, as the child’s health deteriorated and the parents repeatedly resisted feeding, the couple eventually agreed to seek medical help. The infant died en route to the hospital, prompting authorities to initiate a formal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death and the alleged neglect.

The case has drawn attention to issues of family dynamics, consent, and the responsibilities of caregivers when an infant cannot meet basic nutritional needs. Experts note that even when family beliefs are deeply held, the safety and welfare of a child must come first, and medical professionals should be consulted promptly when an infant shows signs of illness or poor intake. The investigation continues as authorities assess the timeline of events, medical records, and statements from relatives and neighbors.

Local observers emphasize the importance of early intervention and clear communication within households facing medical uncertainty. The incident underscores how personal beliefs, especially when linked to care decisions for dependents, can clash with established medical guidelines and legal responsibilities. As investigators review the case, they will determine whether neglect, intent, or other contributing factors played a role in the infant’s death.

Meanwhile, families in similar situations are urged to seek professional advice and child welfare resources when there are signs of distress or disagreement about a child’s care. Health authorities remind caregivers that timely medical evaluation is essential for infants, whose health can decline rapidly without appropriate intervention. The outcome of the ongoing inquiry will shape how communities understand responsibilities within intimate partnerships and how authorities respond to suspected harm in the home environment.
