Russian Mum orders contract killing of daughter, 12, because they ‘constantly argue’
A 46-year-old woman in Russia, identified only as Svetlana, has been arrested for allegedly attempting to hire a friend to murder her 12-year-old daughter. The chilling plot involved drowning the girl in a river, reportedly due to ongoing arguments between mother and child.
According to reports, Svetlana offered approximately $1000 to a male acquaintance, Andrey, 36, to carry out the act in the Chelyabinsk region. Unbeknownst to her, the young girl had been eavesdropping and overheard her mother’s disturbing intentions.

“I’m tired of her bad behavior,” Svetlana allegedly expressed to Andrey, citing their constant conflicts as the reason for her drastic decision. Following this conversation, she sent her daughter off with Andrey, who was supposed to execute the plan.
As they walked together, the girl felt immense fear and anxiety. However, Andrey reassured her, promising protection. Instead of following through with the plan, he took the girl to his home and contacted law enforcement.

Upon informing the police about Svetlana’s offer to have her daughter drowned in the Bolshaya Karaganka River, authorities swiftly detained the mother. She now faces up to 15 years in prison for incitement to murder a minor.
