severed head moscow
A woman dressed all in black and holding what is thought to be a child's severed head has been arrested near a metro station in Moscow. She was shouting, "I am a terrorist," and reportedly threatened to blow herself up.


According to LifeNews, the victim was a girl, identified as Nastya M. After the murder, the female suspect went to a metro station, where she was stopped by a local police officer. She immediately took the severed child's head from her bag and started shouting that she had killed the child. The suspect is currently being detained by police authorities, Russian media reported.

"The end of the world is coming in a second...I'm your death," the woman is heard shouting in the video released online. "I hate democracy. I'm a terrorist."

She is heard shouting that she has been "cursed" and "destroyed" "so many times."

"I'm your suicide bomber... I'm going to die in a second...The end of the world...," she shouted.


"I saw her coming out with the head in her hands. I thought, wow, it must be a replica," he said.

The man says he heard the perpetrator shouting: "Allahu Akbar... The Russians will be hanged like this. The Russians will be slaughtered."

The woman was dressed in black "like Muslims," but her face was open, Manzhesov recalled.

"I thought she just went mad... When I saw the head I started shaking... I saw the child's face and blood coming from it. It was very scary," he said.

Russia's Investigative Committee later released a statement that rescuers have found a body of a three or four-year-old child after extinguishing a fire in a Moscow apartment block. A preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect is a children's nanny in her late 30s, who is a citizen of a "Central Asian country."

The suspect waited until the child's parents left the apartment with an older child, then killed the child and set the apartment on fire, the Investigative Committee said. The mother of the murdered child was taken to hospital in unconscious after she learned the news, Russia's Zvezda TV channel reported.

Earlier on Monday, reports emerged that police had found a child's headless body while extinguishing a fire at a Moscow apartment block. The child was about three or four years old, Interfax reported, citing sources.

The woman, identified by LifeNews as Gulchekhra Bobokulova from Uzbekistan, committed the murder because of her husband's betrayal. According to LifeNews sources, she failed to explain how the child was connected to her husband. The woman was reportedly drugged, a source in police authorities told Interfax.

People in shops near the Oktyabrskoye Pole metro station have been evacuated, TASS reported, adding that police have sealed some exits from the station.
