A nanny in Russian Federation has been arrested for killing a child after she paraded through the streets of Moscow carrying the severed head of a 4-year-old in one hand.
According to Russian media, the woman is accused of setting fire to the parents’ apartment after killing the three- or four-year-old girl.
A woman has been arrested and charged with murder after she brandished a child’s severed head outside a metro station in Moscow.
She said she had been cursed and destroyed “so many times”, and announced: “I hate democracy. Police believe she was drugged.
Authorities think the woman may have been the child’s nanny.
While she has made no attempt to deny the crime, investigators told a judge on Wednesday morning that they believed Ms Bobokulova did not act on her own initiative.
Police appeared to rule out terrorism as a motive, saying Mrs Bobokulova was “clearly insane ” “.
A criminal investigation has been opened, and the suspect is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, the statement added.
The dead child is understood to have a 15-year-old brother and her family from the Oryol region was renting the apartment.
“The woman was going back and forth”, Kuratova said.
Bobokulova was experiencing an acute mental disorder when she committed the crime, the TASS news agency reported, citing an unidentified source in law enforcement.
A family friend told the MK.ru news website the woman had been “treated like family” by her employers.
On hearing the news, the child’s mother lost consciousness and was taken to hospital, Russia’s Zvezda TV channel reported.
