MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Earlier in the day, a decapitated body of a three to four year-old child was found by law enforcement officers in a Moscow apartment after a blaze that was started by her nanny, according to the investigative committee. The woman reportedly waited for the parents and an older child to leave before brutally killing the little girl. The suspect, a citizen of one of the Central Asian states, was detained.
"Another horrifying story of the murder of an infant girl, presumably by her nanny, took place in Moscow. Monstrous and inexplicable. The suspect in the murder of the child was detained due to vigilant policeman near the Oktyabrskoye Pole metro [station]," Astakhov wrote on his Twitter.
The ombudsman called on all parents to carry out careful inspections of nannies they hire.
The unconscious mother of the victim has been reportedly hospitalized.
