Moscow’s Investigative Committee has completed investigation into the case of a 39-year-old Uzbek woman Gulchehra Boboqulova, who was detained in February this year after she waved the severed head of a child that was in her care outside a Moscow subway station.
Recall that citing Moscow law enforcement authorities, Russian media outlets reported that Russian authorities detained a nanny dressed in conservative Islamic dress on February 29, 2016 after she waved the severed head of a child that was in her care outside the Oktyabrskoye Pole (October Field) subway station in northwest Moscow.
The niqab-clad woman is shown holding the child’s head aloft near the subway station, according to graphic video footage, released by news organization Life News. In the footage, she shouts: “I am a terrorist.” The woman could be heard shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great) as she waved the child’s head.
The woman also threatened to blow herself up, RIA Novosti reported, but there has been no indication that she had an explosive device on her person.
Police reportedly identified the woman as a native of Uzbekistan named Gulchehra Boboqulova.
That child’s decapitated body was reportedly discovered earlier on February 29 by firefighters who were dispatched to extinguish a blaze at the child’s Moscow apartment.
Moscow’s Investigative Committee said in a statement: "According to preliminary information, the child's nanny, a citizen of Uzbekistan born in 1977, waited for the parents and elder child to leave the apartment and then, for reasons not established, murdered the infant, set fire to the flat and left the scene.”
Physicians certified Boboqulova mentally incompetent, and most likely, she will be sent for compulsory treatment, Kommersant reports.
