In Irkutsk, police at night neutralized a man who locked his mother in an apartment and threatened to kill an 11 year old relative. After talks, he opened the door, the child and grandmother were unharmed, and the suspect was taken to police. Motives are being determined, and a legal decision will be made after the review.

Today, November 7, the police duty unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Irkutsk received a report that in one of the apartments in the Pervomaisky microdistrict, a man had locked up his mother and was threatening to kill his 11-year-old grandnephew.
The police officers who arrived cordoned off the surrounding area. Throughout the night, the work of the operational and patrol services, while at the scene, was coordinated by the head of police of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Oleg Knaus, and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Irkutsk, Oleg Savin. In case the situation worsened, SOBR fighters of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were preparing to enter the residential premises.
As a result of the negotiations, the troublemaker was persuaded to abandon his intentions, after which he opened the door to law enforcement officers.
Fortunately, the child and his grandmother were not injured. The suspect has been taken to the police department. The motives for the act committed are being established.
A comprehensive investigation into the incident is underway, after which investigators of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Irkutsk Region will make a legal decision.
