Russian Sisters Die In 'Traffic Accident' After Another Sister Committed Suicide

The three siblings died after their car fell off a cliff and caught fire.

Police in Russia's North Caucasus region of Kabardino-Balkaria are investigating the deaths of three sisters who died after their car fell off a cliff and caught fire days after their sister committed suicide. Police said they were looking into the possible suicide of the three women aged 48, 43, and 42, who might have been under pressure from relatives over the alleged suicide of another sibling last week. The women's brother claimed earlier that one of the sisters had told him by phone that they planned to kill themselves. Rights watchdogs have raised the issue of domestic violence across Russia for years. To read the original story by RFE/RL's Caucasus.Realities, click here.
