Despite the emergence of poisoned chacha in Sochi, vendors continued to sell the liquor.
In the Black Sea resort town of Sochi, Russia, a tragic incident has unfolded, leaving at least 10 tourists dead and several others seriously ill. The victims, after consuming a popular local drink known as ChaCha, experienced symptoms such as weakness, drowsiness, coma, and ultimately, death.
Two suspects, a 71-year-old woman named Eteri and her 30-year-old granddaughter Olesya, have been arrested for selling the poisoned alcohol. They are currently under arrest for two months for selling substandard products. Eteri, who has been working as a saleswoman on Sochi markets for about 30 years, was known for selling alcohol disguised as homemade wine.
The market rows where the ChaCha was sold have been closed, and a photo of the scene is available on KP Photo Bank. The deadly ChaCha was purchased at the Cossack Market in Adler. Eteri's production method involved buying spirits and extract, then mixing it with plain water. The poisoning is believed to be caused by methanol.
Investigators are currently identifying who supplied the methanol to the saleswomen. However, the search results do not provide specific information about this crucial aspect of the case. The available details focus on the poisoning itself, the victims, and the arrest of the two Sochi residents, but do not mention the methanol supplier directly.
The Cossack Market, where the deadly ChaCha was sold, is facing the threat of closure. Another woman from Ufa died three days after drinking ChaCha brought from Sochi, adding to the growing concern over the safety of the drink.
No new facts were presented in the "Poison for 500 Rubles: Dangerous Substance Found in Sochi's Killer ChaCha" article or the "Saleswomen of the Killer ChaCha Repent: It Was an Unconscious Crime" article, which further emphasises the need for more information regarding the source of the methanol.
As the investigation continues, the hope is that the truth behind the methanol supplier will come to light, ensuring the safety of the public and preventing such tragedies from happening again.
- The poisoning tragedy in Sochi, Russia, has raised concerns about the quality of health-and-wellness products, particularly mental-health drinks like ChaCha, following the discovery of methanol as the suspected cause.
- The General News outlets have been shedding light on the arrest of two Sochi residents, Eteri and Olesya, for selling substandard and poisoned alcohol disguised as homemade wine, but the search for the methanol supplier remains elusive.
- As the investigation progresses, Science might hold the key to understanding the source of the methanol, ultimately ensuring better health-and-wellness practices and preventing further incidents of crime-and-justice related to contaminated products.
