Father of children killed by dichlofos poisoning told details of the incident

Dmitry Vinogradov, the father of four children who died of dichlofos poisoning in Krasnoyarsk region, told "Izvestia" on December 3 the details of the tragedy.

The man admitted that he used a toxic insect repellent, but does not believe that dichlofos could have caused such poisoning.

He noted that "everyone in the village uses dichlofos" and that the family had done it many times before. According to Vinogradov, the reason for the poisoning could have been defective dichlofos or low-quality food, but the expertise has not yet found anything.

"Everyone went outside. I sprayed evenly over all the rooms. Dichlofos is small. The windows opened then for an hour and a half or two hours approximately, or maybe more. Then I came in - there was no odor," he clarified the details of the incident.

The man specified that that evening, after airing all the rooms, the family members came home, had dinner together and went to bed. Everyone felt well. But the next morning both children and parents felt acute indisposition.

On the day of the tragedy, the whole family ate dumplings, Vinogradov said. He also admitted that the poisonous agent could have gotten on the dishes left in the kitchen sink when the agent was sprayed.

"Maybe some dirty plate that was not loaded [into the dishwasher], not washed, was left [in the sink]," the father of the dead children suggested.
