The woman who was seen in a viral video holding a severed head of a child in Moscow is now under the custody of the authorities. Investigators claimed that the woman is the dead kid's nanny.
BBC identified the female suspect as Gyulchekhra Bobokulova, an Uzbekistan native who was seen in a closed circuit television (CCTV) footage (see video below) holding and waving a head of a child while she walked near a metro station.
The same report mentioned that the hijab-wearing woman allegedly killed the little girl then burned the apartment of her parents. It was also highlighted that a police officer, later on, responded to the scene and apprehended her.
According to Yahoo News, the woman identified herself as a terrorist while she shouted on top of her voice. "I hate democracy. I am a terrorist. I want you dead," she was quoted by the Yahoo as saying. "You have become so hardened, you have eliminated so many of us. Look I am a suicide bomber, I will die, doomsday will come in a second."
Eyewitness Alyona Kuratova claimed that she saw Bobokulova holding the child's head by the hair. Kuratova also noted that though it was not clear what the suspect was repeatedly saying, police said it was "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest).
She also reportedly threatened to kill herself while she stayed near the metro station for about 20 minutes. Police have cleared the area and found no explosives that could hurt the public.
After the incident, BBC noted that Bobokulova has already been sent to a psychiatric center for treatment. Meanwhile, authorities are now looking into the murder of the child, estimated to be around three to four.
It was highlighted that the kid's body was found inside their residence located along Narodnoye Opolcheniye Street. Quoting a statement from the Moscow Investigative Committee, BBC said that the suspect waited for the parents of the child to leave the house before murdering the child and setting the flat on fire.
