Jibek Tanykulova, the children's aunt, spoke about the incident. She reported that at the time of the tragedy, three children of her younger brother and one son of her older brother were in the house.
The younger brother left his two sons and a two-year-old daughter in the care of their grandmother, as the parents are currently working in Moscow.
The son of the older brother, who is in the 2nd grade, was left at his grandmother's house for the weekend.
According to Tanykulova, she learned about the incident early in the morning, at five o'clock. “Yesterday we just buried our father. On Saturday, my older brother, who works at a bank, brought his son to the grandmother's house. My younger brother, who went to Moscow with his wife, has three children: two boys and a girl who is only two years old. My mother and sister were also in the house. We were just talking, and no one could have predicted such a tragedy,” she shared her grief.
The children lived with their grandmother and aunt. According to preliminary data, the cause of the fire that claimed the lives of the four children was a short circuit in the electrical wiring.
The farewell to the children will take place on March 5 at 15:00 in their native village.
