A resident of Chita, Alexander
Shestakov, who froze his two young nephews and one niece to death during
New Year holidays, was sent to jail for 22 years.
The story that shocked the whole country
took place on January 2, 2013. Shestakov, in a state of alcoholic
intoxication, decided to punish three children that he had to look
after.
The man locked the children in the

spent seven hours there. Two boys died from hypothermia, their sister
survived, but her legs had to be amputated.
