Gulchekhra Bobokulova is accused of murdering a child and beheading her

Smiling Gulchekhra Bobokulova, a 38-year-old mother of three boys, replied “yes” when asked if she pleaded guilty at the court in Moscow.

Pictures of her dressed in a burka clutching the head of Nastya Meshcheryakova sent shockwaves around the world as reports emerged she shouted “Allahu Akhbar” while outside a train station.

After pleading guilty, Bobokulova shook her head after being asked if she felt remorseful for what she had done to the child.

Handcuffed, she was asked by a journalist why she had killed the litle girl and paraded her head around, to which she is alleged to have replied: “Allah ordered me to”.

It is believed Bobokulova, from Uzbekistan, was married for 12 years until she recently divorced.

She was registered at a psychiatric clinic near her home.

It emerged she had shown police the bloodied cot where she had carried out the murder of little Nastya who was strangled before her head was severed with a kitchen knife.

Her remains were still in the cot when police examined the child’s Moscow home.

Police are hunting a mystery boyfriend of Bobokulova who they believe was with her when she killed the child.

Although she has confessed to the killing, detectives think it was not her idea and believe she may have been radicalised by the unknown man who they suspect visited her at Nastya’s flat on the morning she was killed.

The dead child is said to have had learning difficulties and could not walk properly.
Her parents had taken her to China for treatment, and were saving money to travel for subsequent care in Germany.

This picture sent shockwaves around the world

She had a 15-year-old brother and her family from the Oryol region were renting the apartment where she was killed.

Her mother - named locally as Ekaterina Meshcheryakov - reportedly works at a wedding shop while her father is understood to be a technician at a mobile phone company.

The child's mother was taken to hospital after collapsing when she learned of the news.

Chilling footage showed the moment Gyulchekhra Bobokulova, flanked by armed police, took Russian officers to the gruesome scene. The 38-year-old nanny is reported to have told police she had been haunted by “voices” and was driven mad after learning her husband had started a new family in Uzbekistan while she worked in Russia.

Horror erupted close to Oktyabrskoye Pole metro station in the northwest of the Russian capital after eyewitnesses reported a woman shouting "I'm a terrorist" while wandering the streets brandishing the head of a dead child.

A spokesman from the Investigative Committee of Russia said: "Given the clearly inappropriate behaviour of the person detained, investigators immediately appointed her to a forensic psychiatric examination to determine their ability to realise the significance of their actions and deeds."

Public beheadings and other brutal executions have become regular events in teh group's defacto capita of Raqqa in Syria.

Eagle-eyed detectives in Russia are scouring CCTV footage from the area near the little girl’s home in the hunt for clues to the man’s identity.

They know Nastya was killed at around 8.40am on Monday morning and believe the mystery man either visited the flat before the murder or was present when it was carried out.

The murder comes just weeks after police in Moscow uncovered a weapons cache at a bomb making factory run by ISIS fanatics who were "planning attacks across Russia".

Security services arrested seven members of a jihadi group accused of planning terror attacks on Moscow and St Petersburg.

The militants had a bomb making factory with detonators, explosives, grenades and firearms and were plotting a high-profile attack.

The arrests were made after police swooped on the group in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg, 100 miles from the border with Kazakstan.

The terrifying weapons cache seized by police

FSB agents had received intelligence reports that the jihadis were planning to strike the Russian capital.

The group included Russian nationals and citizens of Central Asian states, who were also planning attacks in the Sverdlovsk region in the Urals, the FSB said.

They were led by an ISIS fighter who had arrived from Turkey, the FSB added.
Russian security experts have warned that the country is facing a "substantial" threat from homegrown extremists, with the potential for tens of thousands of radicalised Muslims to be living within its borders.
