"Woman Arrested In Moscow After Pulling Child's Severed Head From Bag"
Moscow police arrested a woman who held aloft the severed head of a 4-year-old child authorities said she was hired to care for.
The suspect was captured on video shouting that she was a terrorist.
Investigators accused her of murdering the girl in a grisly and unprecedented incident that shocked many Russians.
Police wrestled the woman to the ground outside the Oktyabrskoye Pole metro station in northwestern Moscow on February 29, moments after she pulled the head from a bag.
Internet-posted video of the horrific scene shows a woman dressed in black and wearing what looks like an Islamic head scarf. Media reports cited witnesses as saying she was heard shouting “Allahu Akbar.”
According to Russia media, the woman has been identified as 39-year-old nanny Gyulchekhra Bobokulova, a native of the former Soviet republic of Uzbekistan in Central Asia. Moscow police said she has been taken in for psychiatric examination.
In online video of the incident, the woman could be heard shouting in Russian with a Central Asian accent.
She said: “I am a terrorist. I will die, but you all will be punished.”
Police confirmed that Bobokulova was carrying the head of a 4-year-old Russian child she had been hired to babysit.
Russian media reports referred to the victim as Nastya M.
What is believed to be the child’s decapitated body had been discovered earlier by firefighters sent to put out a fire at the child’s Moscow home.
The local branch of the federal Investigative Committee said it suspects the babysitter waited until the parents and an older child had left the apartment before killing the child and starting the fire.
According to Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda, Bobokulova also shouted, “I hate democracy.”
