Story Of 46-Year-Old Mother Who Was Arrested For Hiring Assassin To Drown Her 12-Year-Old Daughter

A mother in Russia has been arrested for allegedly hiring a male acquaintance to m#rder her 12-year-old daughter, claiming she was fed up with the child’s “bad behaviour.”

The woman, named only as Svetlana, was detained for allegedly offering the contract k!lling £930 to drown her daughter in a local river in Chelyabinsk region, according to law enforcement.

The 46-year-old was not aware the girl was secretly eavesdropping from behind a door and heard her mother’s chilling demand to k!ll her. 

Svetlana reportedly cited her bad relationship with her daughter as the reason for her attempt to have the girl k!lled, saying she was “tired” of the 12-year-old’s “bad behaviour” and their “constant arguments”.

After ordering her k!lling, the mother-of-four sent her daughter out of the house with the man – Andrey, 36 – in Izmailovsky, it is alleged. 

“When they were walking along the road, the schoolgirl was very afraid and worried,” reported Shot news outlet, citing law enforcement. “But the man told her everything and promised to protect her. He hid the girl at his home and went to the police.”

The woman had offered to pay cash for drowning her in Bolshaya Karaganka River, the acquaintance hired to k!ll the girl told officers.

Police detained the woman who faces up to 15 years in jail for incitement to murd£r a minor, if convicted. She was “unable to explain her actions” when quizzed by officers. 

The girl has been placed in care with two siblings, aged 17 and six. The detained woman also has an adult daughter, 18.

Last month, a Russian mum was detained after allegedly axing three of her four children to de@th and severing her baby’s head before dumping it in a cupboard.

A courtroom heard that the head of 29-year-old Valentina Mytko’s youngest son – an infant aged just seven months old – had been cut off and was found in a cupboard.
