AKIPRESS.COM - Muscovites are bringing flowers to a metro station where an Uzbek nanny was arrested on Monday on charges of murdering a 4-year-old baby girl in her care.

Media reports earlier said that Gulchekhra Bobokulova had pleaded guilty of the heinous crime.

Gulchekhra Bobokulova was seen outside Oktyabrskoye Pole metro station on Monday holding a severed baby’s head. She was shouting Islamic slogans and threatening to blow herself up.

The 38-year-old woman was working as a baby sitter, a source told RIA Novosti. Experts assume the suspect might have been under the influence of drugs.

​The baby's mother was taken by an ambulance to the hospital in an unconscious state.

​The body of the child was found in a Moscow apartment where a fire was reported earlier Monday. Preliminary reports say that Bobokulova had spent the past year working for the family.

​The motive for the attack is still unknown. The nanny reportedly waited for the parents and an older child to leave and killed the 4-year-old baby before setting the apartment on fire.

The tragedy with the child murdered by her nanny is not what should be reported in mass media, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.

“This is probably too grotesque to show over the television and you know that mass media all around the world avoid showing videos of such tragic and monstrous occurrences and there are plenty of examples of this and this is how mass media show their civil position,” Peskov told journalists when asked why central Russian televisions decided not to fully cover the tragedy using video cuts.

According to the Federal Migration Service, the nanny is a migrant from Uzbekistan and worked in Russia without a work permit.

Yulia Ivanova, senior assistant to the head of the Moscow Investigative Committee, said the woman was clearly mentally unstable and the investigators will carry out a psychiatric assessment to determine the state of her mental health.
