Suspect Gyulchekhra Bobokulova from
Muslim-majority Uzbekistan — whom the press have nicknamed “the bloody nanny” was
detained on Monday for killing a young girl in her care then walking through the
street brandishing the head, as she was waving the child’s severed head outside
a Moscow metro station. She said
it was allah that ordered the killing of the baby. She was sent for psychiatric examinations.
Speaking in broken Russian from the suspect’s
cage, Bobokulova said: “Allah is sending a second prophet to give news of
peace” and also complained that she was “hungry”, had not been fed and would
“die in a week”.
“Hi to everyone,” said the mother-of-three,
waving at the crowd of journalists in the courtroom.
Investigator Olga Lapteva, who was clearly
emotional, told the court that Bobokulova was suspected of committing an
“extremely serious crime” and that she should face “a mandatory prison sentence
of considerably more than three years.” The court confirmed the nanny’s arrest
and ordered her held in custody for two months as investigations continued. Investigators
said they were still trying to establish if Bobokulova had any accomplices. Bobokulova
has been undergoing psychiatric examinations since her detention over the
murder of the girl, Nastya, whom the judge said was born in 2011. Investigators
had initially estimated she was three or four years old. She is suspected of
butchering the girl, who had suffered from learning disabilities and epilepsy,
at the family’s apartment in northwestern Moscow, before torching it and
fleeing the scene.
