An 8-year-old boy has died trying to save his sister from being attacked by a paedophile in the Moscow region. Thanks to the little hero, the suspect was detained and will face trial.
On Tuesday the brave boy – Zhenya Tabakov – was buried in the town of Noginsk.
A criminal investigation against 33-year-old Sergey Kiyashko is now underway, writes Komsomolskaya Pravda paper.
According to police, Kiyashko, who had spent 17 years behind bars for murder and robbery, came to Noginsk to find a job. When he didn’t succeed in job hunting, the man fell back into old habits.
On November 25, Kiyashko was wandering around the quiet town and came up with an idea of how to get some money. Not surprisingly, the ex-convict chose burglary as the easiest way.
When he came into a house in town’s centre and rang a door bell, a 12-year-old girl, Yana Tabakova, opened the door. She and her younger brother Zhenya were home alone whilst their parents were working at a local military hospital.
Threatening the children with a knife, Kiyashko demanded that they give him money or any other valuables. The man grabbed the girl and ordered Zhenya to go and search for money. Kiyashko, meanwhile, started to undress Yana.
When little Zhenya saw what was happening, he ran to the kitchen, took a knife and stabbed the offender into his waist. The paedophile let Yana free, but, furious about the boy’s actions, he jumped Zhenya and stabbed him in the back eight times.
Fearing neighbours might call the police, bleeding Kiyashko escaped and hid in an empty house on the outskirts of the town, but, thanks to the locals who called the police when they saw the suspicious man, the child abuser was soon detained.
When Kiyahsko was examined at the police station, it was discovered the wound in his waist was only three centimeters deep.
Zhenya was taken to hospital, but died later.
Police suspect the paedophile might be connected with other crimes against children committed in the region.

"Was it the same during the Communist era?" I think the all time body count holder (Checheko -I can't spell his name) was a Communist Party member as well! Social scientists have already past proved that the percentage of the total number of atrocity committing pedophiles is about the same in every country and region on Earth, in spite of the system of Government or severity of penalties applied. All peoples are equal, there is not necessarily one race, country or ethnic more moral than another. Sometimes the mobility, press capabilities, poor law enforcement or excellent law enforcement, wars and things of this type will skew the numbers for a period in one region in time or another, but the bulk numbers will closely match in the end from one part of the world to the next. Social scientists have postulated that it is probably true for all time as well, from the Babylonians to the Greeks to the Romans. There has been and always will be a sick element. "Why has the system totally broken down in Russia?" By the logic discussed already, any given "system" has nothing to do with whatever the tiny percentage of sick people in a given population will prey. Timelessly it has been proved most criminals believe either they won't get caught, or simply can't control themselves, regardless if they are given lethal injection (USA), shot (Russia), locked away (Europe) or beheaded (China).
