A teenager
has been arrested after he cut off breasts of his grandmother’s friend to steal
less than £2, prosecutors in Russia say.
The 13-year-old boy broke
into the disabled 78-year-old victim’s home, pulling out a knife and demanding
cash.
She was stabbed in the face
and body 60 times and her breasts were cut off.
He escaped with 150 Rubles,
the equivalent of just £1.75, it is claimed.
The horrifying attack
happened in the village of Chesma in Chesmensky District of the Central Russian
Chelyabinsk oblast region.
The woman, who recognised
the schoolboy as the grandson of her friend, asked him to leave before she was
tortured.
He only stopped when he
realised she was not breathing, and after grabbing the money he left the
apartment and later used the money to top up his mobile phone account.
The victim’s body was found
by neighbours the next morning.
A police spokesman
confirmed: “A 13-year-old schoolboy who studies in the 7th grade has been
detained in connection with the incident.
“He is the grandson of the
victim’s female friend. He has been placed in temporary detention in a secure
unit for under aged felons.
“An investigation is being
carried out as to his motive, and he has already confessed to the crime and
admitted stealing 150 RUB.”
Vladimir Shishkov from
Chelyabinsk region investigative committee said: “A suspect has been arrested
and a homicide case has been initiated. The investigation continues.”
The age of criminal
responsibility in Russian is 14 however the shocking nature of the crime means
that the boy might end up in a special school for troubled minors.
