As a reminder, on July 27 of this year, a terrible traffic accident occurred at the intersection of Baikalskaya and Piskunova streets. The female driver hit a Toyota Highlander SUV that was stopped at a red light; after the impact, it collided with two more cars. As a result of the crash, the driver and passenger of the SUV died from their injuries.
The accident claimed the life of the head of the criminal investigation department of Police Station No. 4 in Irkutsk and businessman Denis Matveev.
Behind the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz was the daughter of City Duma deputy Zhanna Eseva and the chief physician of City Clinical Hospital No. 10, Sergey Esev. On July 29, Zhanna Eseva submitted a resignation letter, stressing that she did not accept claims that her deputy status could hinder the investigation.
“I am a mother, and I will help my daughter in this difficult situation, but I do not accept speculation that my deputy status could hinder an objective and fair investigation,” she emphasized.
At the beginning of October, Zhanna Eseva withdrew her resignation letter. People have a negative attitude toward Irkutsk Duma deputy Zhanna Eseva’s decision to withdraw her resignation letter. City residents condemn this act from a moral standpoint.
