Dental assistant Asiyat, 19, and personal trainer Madina, 25, went to a quest room in the House of Horrors.

Newlywed Asiyat, who got married just five days before the tragedy began, convinced her 21-year-old husband Said to take her.

She was tied to a chair in the dungeon as part of the gruesome game involving chainsaws, while her friend Madina was handcuffed as part of the routine.

Russian magazine Holod reported that an employee dipped his glove in gasoline and set it on fire to “increase the feeling of fear” among customers.

He then waved the chainsaw in front of Asiyat and dropped the can containing the gasoline supplies, setting the entire room on fire.

Neither of the two women managed to escape the hell, as they were locked in darkness. Horror chamber where attraction employees struggled to locate the keys to unlock them.

But people sat in a cafe next door saw smoke and immediately called the fire department who effectively cleared the way.

Both women were alive when rescuers found them, but Asiyat, who broke free, suffered fatal poisoning while trying to help Madina escape.

Asiyat died from inhaling carbon monoxide and Madina died from burns that covered 97% of her body.

Holod said they died sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning.

Asiyat’s 21-year-old husband Said is still in hospital fighting for his life with 50% burns, unaware that his fiancée is dead.

Asiyat, who is the daughter of the head doctor at the city’s main hospital, was pronounced dead at the hospital, as was her friend Madina.

A witness said: “To scare the girl, they first handcuffed her, chained her to a chair and then threw a lighter at her and wanted to simulate arson, to scare her.

“They lit a lighter and the girl caught fire. Her friend tried to put it out and a man tried to find fire extinguishers.

“When he came back, both women were unconscious. One of them was burned in a chair.”

A family source said, “My sister Asiyat got married last week. She asked her husband to participate in this mission.

“During the mission, the animator handcuffed 25-year-old Madina. He was going to do a trick, doused her with fuel and hit her with a lighter to scare her, and the fire started.

“Madina started to burn. Asiyat’s husband took off his shirt and tried to erase it, but it didn’t work.

“He ran out to look for a fire extinguisher, it was difficult to get out, it was dark there and there were mazes everywhere.

“He tried to break the window bars, but he couldn’t… He looked for the women with his hands and stumbled upon Asiyat, trying to save her friend.”

Russian police opened an investigation based on “the provision of services that do not meet the requirements for the safety of the life or health of consumers, resulting in the death of two people.”

They say the perpetrators could face up to 10 years in prison.
