2-Year-Old Child Strangled, Thrown Into Hot Stove By Grandparents, Charred Remains Found

In a horrific incident, a 2-year-old boy was strangled and killed by his grandparents in Siberia. The child was thrown into a hot stove after being strangled.

The child's parents -- identified as Maria, 20, and Dmitry Shcherbakovy, 25 -- came to pick their son from the grandparents home when they found the boy's charred remains in the snow. The incident took place at a home in Kemerovo in southwestern Siberia.

According to Euro Weekly News, the grandparents were irritated as the child was screaming and crying. As they could not stop the child from making the noise, they strangled him. The elderly couple then threw "him into a scalding stove," police said, adding the boy's remains were later left out in the snow.

“They located the little boy’s clothes in the house, but not him,” the Russian Investigative Committee said in a statement, according to 7News. “Next to the house, the parents found the body of their son in the snow, and called investigators and police... Forensic analysis will establish the exact reason for the little boy’s death.”

The grandparents were “intoxicated” at the time of the incident, Euro Weekly News reported.

Police arrested both the accused. It is unclear if they were the boy's paternal or maternal grandparents.

Earlier this year, a couple was arrested and charged for killing their 11-month-old grandson. The grandparents, who were babysitting the boy, were angry as the child kept crying. The couple suffocated the baby and then threw him alive inside a stove.

The suspects were identified as Alexander Miyagashev, 48, and his wife Zhanna, 43, of Kharoy village in Russia's Khakassia region.

When the child's mother came home, she found her son's remains inside the stove. Both the grandparents were intoxicated at the time of the incident, media reports said.

The grandfather was sent to jail for up to 15 years, while the grandmother was handed nine years in prison by a Russian court. The child's cause of death was said to be "100 percent burns to the body" and carbon monoxide poisoning.
