A man in Russia has been detained for killing a pedophile who raped his 8-year-old daughter.
The pedophile named Oleg Sviridov, 32 kept an archive on his phone with recordings of the abuse of children in Vintai village, Samara region, Russia.
Vyacheslav M, 34, who works in a rocket engine factory, was a friend of the child abuser and they were out together drinking when Vyacheslav discovered the video on the pedophile’s phone, where Sviridov was raping his daughter, who is now 9 years old. Vyacheslav then confronted Sviridov, who escaped.
Sviridov had baby-sat and abused the little girl multiple times.
When Vyacheslav discovered the footage, he went straight to the police to report the rapes. An then a manhunt for the pedophile was launched.
But, Vyacheslav found Sviridov before the police and stabbed him to death.
Following the discovery of the body, the father was arrested. Now the case is under further investigation.
Criminal cases concerning the sexual abuse of three children recorded on the pedophile’s phone have been opened. Among the rapes filmed, besides Vyacheslav’s daughter, two more victims have been identified, a 6-year-old and 11-year-old girl.
The abuse of the children was ongoing for the past five years, according to the dates of the recorded footage.
Residents of the Vintai village and people commenting on the internet demand Vyacheslav to be released and the murder charge to be dropped.
One resident said:
“He is not a murderer -- he protected his daughter and our children too. Everyone is on his side.”
Ksenia Sobchak, TV journalist and former Russian presidential candidate, told her followers:
“All parents are standing up for the pedophile’s killer.”
Anna Plekhanova, one of the other commenters, said:
“If the crime is proven by video facts, then is the girl’s father wrong? Any normal parent, mother or father, would have torn apart such a pedophile right on the spot. Protecting children is the direct responsibility of parents.”
Sviridov’s mother said that her son had babysat Vyacheslav’s children on many occasions and that he and Vyacheslav had been long-time friends.
The woman said:
“I don’t know how it got to this. He must have been drunk. Most likely he was drunk. They left their children with him all the time. When he baby-sat these girls he came back home as normal, in a good mood.”
