CBI investigates possible mass suicide

The Department of the Investigative Committee for Kabardino-Balkaria is conducting an investigation in connection with the death of three sisters in an accident. One version is that they committed suicide.

Three dead sisters - Albina, Amina and Arina Akhaeva - were found in a burning car that fell off a cliff at the entrance to the village of Nizhny Chegem. Traffic police officers suggested that the woman who was driving lost control of the car, which caused the car to fall into a cliff.

Brother Alim said that the sisters had problems with relatives. Earlier, another sister lived with them, who committed suicide a few days before the car accident, after which the relatives blamed Albina, Amina and Arina Akhaevs for her death. One of them subsequently told her brother that they were going to commit suicide together by throwing themselves off a cliff.
