Photos: Nanny Arrested In Russia With The Head Of A 4-Year Old Girl She Was Babysitting

A woman is being held in Moscow by officers after she brandished
a child’s severed head outside a metro station. Reports in Russia claim the
39-year-old woman shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ as she was held this morning.

The woman was seen carrying the head near Oktyabrskoye Pole
metro station in the Russian capital this morning.

She is said to have shouted “I’m a terrorist”
while wandering the streets holding the head for around an hour before police
arrested her.

In scenes captured on dramatic CCTV footage around half a
dozen officers swooped outside the station and dragged her to the ground.

Eye-witnesses claimed the woman was threatening to blow
herself up at the scene but police said the woman had no explosives on her
person.

The metro station was searched for explosives but given the
all-clear by specialist officers a short time later.

In a statement the Russian Interior Ministry confirmed the
woman, who has not been named, had brandished the severed head of a
four-year-old girl before being arrested.

The girl’s headless body was later found at the scene of a
fire in a block of flats near the metro station.

It is believed the woman was babysitting the child and
waited for her parents to leave with their older child before the horror
unfolded.
