Moscow beheading: Nanny says ISIS inspired her to decapitate 4-year-old
Moscow: Days after the gruesome murder of a four-year-old girl by the babysitter, the culprit nanny told investigators that she was inspired to behead the child by Islamic State's videos posted online, according to a report in the Independent.
Currently detained in a psychiatric hospital, Bobokulova told the investigators that she felt bad for herself, rather than the minor victim whom she killed.

She also said that she was inspired by ISIS videos and the way they behead their captors.
Earlier, she had said that she killed the minor to avenge Muslims killed in the Kremlin’s campaign of air strikes in Syria.

Bobokulova said that she heard a voice who asked her to behead the girl in the same manner in which Islamic State militants kill their captors.

The nanny also asked the investigators to shift her to a normal jail claiming that she was alright and no more heard voices. She further added that she did not like the psychiatric jail and was in deep pain. "I walk badly because of the drugs. My hair is dirty and I cannot wash it over here," Bobokulova was quoted as saying.
