Doctors find Chechen woman suspected of beating up a five-year-old child mentally healthy

The 51-year-old resident of Chechnya has stated that she was not aware of what she was doing when beating up her five-year-old relative girl, but doctors assert that she is mentally sane.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported referring to investigators that the suspect had systematically beaten up a five-year-old daughter of her great-nephew. The child was hospitalized. On October 15, the suspect was arrested.

"During the interrogation, she confessed that she had roped the child’s hands so that the girl would not put them into her mouth," said a source from the Investigating Department for Chechnya of the Investigating Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF).

According to his story, neighbours and acquaintances of the detainee speak extremely negatively about her.

"The girl was beaten up and tortured; besides, she is still in a state of extreme exhaustion," the Chechen Ministry of Public Health has added.

The girl’s father may be deprived of parental rights, the Prosecutor's Office has stated. The man divorced his wife and went to work in Moscow in the summer, leaving his daughter for the care of his aunt.

The torture of the child became known on October 13, when WhatsApp users distributed a video taken in the hospital, showing the girl talking about bullying. This caused a wide public resonance in the republic.

The fellow villagers of the detained woman said that she kept the girl at home and did not let her out into the yard.
