The Khaustovs' house was to be demolished, they were threatened with resettlement, but the location of their future home categorically did not suit them, therefore, when the news was heard that the mother and daughter committed an act of self-immolation, their neighbors did not doubt the reasons that forced the residents of the doomed house to commit suicide.

On June 4, 2002, in the middle of the day, cries for help were heard from the apartment where the mother and daughter lived, and a pungent smell of burning instantly spread through the entrance.
