“A 24-year-old woman has been charged with the murder of a nine-month-old son ... At the interrogation, the accused gave the investigator a confession, repented of her deed,” the report said.

The woman explained that her son was sick, she “could not look at his torment”, so she decided to kill the child.

Earlier, the investigation reported that a resident of Kolomna near Moscow found his nine-month-old son strangled in a crib.

According to the UK, "the death of the child occurred as a result of mechanical asphyxiation."

In May, URA.RU reported that a murder that had been committed in 1990 was uncovered in the Tyumen Region.
