MOSCOW, March 5, (AFP): Russian investigators on Friday filed murder charges against a nanny after she beheaded a fouryear- old handicapped girl in her care and brandished the severed head in a Moscow street. The Investigative Committee said suspect Gyulchekhra Bobokulova, a 38-year-old native of Muslim-majority Uzbekistan, would undergo psychiatric and drug tests to determine “her mental condition.”

The maximum punishment for the murder of a minor is life in prison although women offenders cannot be sentenced to more than 25 years in jail in Russia. A defendant cannot be sentenced to jail term if found to be legally insane.
