    The goal of this article is to present examples of discrete subgroups of \(\text{Isom}(\mathbb{H}^3)\) which fail to be residually finite. The first example states that there exist an infinite discrete subgroup \(G \subset \text{Isom}(\mathbb{H}^3)\) without finite non-trivial quotients. And in particular \(G\) is not residually finite. The second example states that there exists a torsion free discrete subgroup \(G \subset \text{Isom}(\mathbb{H}^3)\) which is not residually finite. The explicit descriptions of those groups are given and the stated properties are proven.
