A nanny in Russia accused of murdering and then decapitating a little girl in her care has said that “Allah ordered” her to carry out the act. Gulchekhra Bobokulova, a 38-year-old mother of three, spoke to reporters on her way into a Moscow court.
Bobokulova, a Muslim and a citizen of Uzbekistan, also replied “yes” when asked if she accepted her guilt. Russian officials have said Bobokulova was suffering from mental health problems. CCTV appeared to show her, dressed in a hijab, walking near a metro station with a head in her hands.
