A man has been raped and killed by parents after young girls « lied » that he touched them below the waist as a « joke », it has been alleged.
Truck driver Dmitry Chikvarkin gave the girls aged 3 and 10 a lift to a carer at the request of their parents in Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Sverdlovsk, Russia.
However, when Valeria Dunaeva, 25, the mother of the 3-year-old, came to pick the girls, they allegedly told her Chikvarkin « had touched them below the waist ». Furious, Dunaeva told her partner Sergey Chabin, 33, dad of the 10-year-old, and the parents allegedly tried to take the law into their own hands.

Chikvarkin was attacked by three men, friends of the couple, and he later died from a head wound sustained during the attack, police in Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Sverdlovsk, Russia, have alleged.
A law enforcement source told Znak newspaper: « They found the man who previously gave a lift to the children.
« First, he was raped…
« Then they smashed his head with the same pipe, breaking his skull. »
Police now claim the older girl, who said Chikvarkin, 48, had touched her and the other child was « lying » as a « joke ».
A friend of Chikvarkin told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper: « He just wanted to help by giving the kids a lift, but he was killed. He would never harm children. »
Dunaeva and Chabin, and Mikhail Ivanov, 27, have now been arrested on murder charges.
Local media have reported the pair are charged with « murder with special cruelty by a group of persons by prior conspiracy ».
Police are also searching for two others who are reportedly on the run.
