Syria killed by Russian airstrikes. Gyulchekhra Bobokulova, a 38-year-old Muslim woman from Uzbekistan, told a man asking her questions off-camera that she "took revenge against those who spilled blood." the father of the murdered girl, named Nastya, says Bobokulova had never worked as a nanny before he hired her. He also said he did not recall her ever being devoutly religious and claimed his daughter was frightened by her.
Reports also detailed Bobokulova's history and painted her as a mentally troubled divorced mother of three sons who had been in and out of psychiatric hospitals before coming to Moscow.
Bobokulova was wearing all black and waving the little girl's severed head while shouting in Russian "I'm a terrorist! I want your death!" before police detained her outside the Oktyabrskoe Pole metro station in northwest Moscow on Monday.
Police were criticized for taking more than 20 minutes to grab her, allowing time for several onlookers to film and upload disturbing videos of the incident.
Russian investigators said Bobokulova used a knife to decapitate the girl before setting fire to the family's apartment and fleeing the scene with the child's head.
Russia entered the war in Syria on Sept. 30, launching an airstrike campaign to support embattled President Bashar al-Assad. It has since carried out bombings that human rights groups say killed hundreds of civilians.
The Kremlin maintains it is bombing the Islamic State (ISIS) group and other groups it deems terror organizations.
Russia's intervention has further complicated the increasingly complex war and had major consequences for Moscow. ISIS downed a Russian passenger jet over Egypt on Oct. 31, killing all 224 people on board, in revenge for Moscow's military actions in Syria.
