Mum orders contract killing of 12-year-old daughter paying friend £930 to drown her because they ‘constantly argue'
A MUM has been arrested in Russia after allegedly hiring a pal to drown her 12-year-old daughter because they 'constantly argue'.
The woman, named only as Svetlana, is said to have tried to pay a male friend £930 to kill her child by throwing her into a river in the Chelyabinsk region.

Unbeknown to her, the schoolgirl had been eavesdropping behind a door — and overheard her mum's chilling murder plot.
Svetlana, 46, allegedly told the man she was 'tired' of her daughter's 'bad behaviour' and their 'constant arguments'.
She then sent the girl off with the would-be killer — named as Andrey, 36 — in the Izmailovsky settlement, it has been claimed.
'When they were walking along the road, the schoolgirl was very afraid and worried,' reported Shot news outlet, citing law enforcement.
'But the man told her everything and promised to protect her.
'He hid the girl at his home and went to the police.'
He told cops Svetlana had offered cash to have her daughter drowned in the Bolshaya Karaganka River.
The mum-of-four was detained and now faces up to 15 years in jail for incitement to murder a minor.
When questioned by police, she was reportedly 'unable to explain her actions'.
Shock moment Russian teen TikToker threatens to have her Putin official mum send online haters to WAR sparking outrage
The young girl has since been placed in care alongside two of her siblings, aged 17 and six.
Svetlana also has an adult daughter, aged 18.
It comes after a glamorous rapper dubbed the "Barbie Bandit" has been arrested in a dramatic police raid targeting a massive dark web drugs operation.
Blonde beauty Maria L., 25, known for posing in Barbie-pink outfits and flaunting an assault rifle on social media, was seized by Russian cops in St Petersburg on May 15.
The influencer-turned-trafficker is accused of helping run a slick online drugs shop — managing storage, distribution, and sales of illicit substances through the dark web.
Photos online show the rapper in revealing crop tops and doll-like makeup, living a flashy life that masked a far more dangerous double identity.
Police said: 'She helped sell the drugs online and also managed their storage and distribution.'
During the raid, cops uncovered laptops, mobile phones, and a 'significant' stash of chemicals used to make hallucinogens — along with scales and other manufacturing gear.
Meanwhile, a Russian teen TikTok star has sparked outrage after threatening to have her pro-Putin mother send online trolls to the war front.
Yulia Shevtsova, a mayor in the Vologda region, was left red-faced after her 19-year-old influencer daughter made the chilling threat in a viral video.
Ksenia Shevtsova infuriated viewers by boasting on TikTok: "Are you out of your mind, dude? Do you know who my mum is?"
She added: "The mayor! We'll send you to the [war]."
The clip, which quickly spread online, featured images and videos of Ksenia posing with her politician mum — followed by the bold claim she could send her critics to fight in Vladimir Putin's brutal war in Ukraine.

Putin hits Kyiv with another huge missile and drone attack, killing at least four people, as he continues to take revenge for Ukraine's Operation Spider's Web
Kyiv was pummelled last night with Russian ballistic missiles and attack drones killing at least four as Russian President Vladimir Putin takes revenge for audacious Operation Spider's Web. Western regions like Lviv and Volyn, which border EU and NATO member Poland, were also bombarded as well as the Ukrainian capital. It comes days after a dastardly mission to destroy nuclear-capable military planes at Russian air bases was pulled off by Ukrainian forces, personally overseen by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The brazen operation, 18 months in the planning, saw Kyiv smuggle more than 100 small drones into Russia, disguised in a false roof of wood cabins, park them near Russian air bases and then unleash them in a coordinated attack. Footage showed decimated enemy planes in flames on the runway and Ukrainian security sources claimed to have taken out 41 aircrafts worth some £1.5billion. Putin earlier this week told US President Donald Trump that he would retaliate, with the Kremlin sharing on Thursday it would choose 'how and when' to respond. The Russian ambassador also laid blame at the British government for the attacks, alleging that the UK's role in the strike could lead to 'World War Three'. He offered no evidence for the claim. Russian officials have not as yet commented on the overnight strikes that killed at least four people and wounded twenty in the capital - figures which were shared by mayor Vitali Klitschko said on social media. 'Kyiv came under another attack involving UAVs and ballistic missiles. Rescuers are responding to the aftermath at several locations across the city,' the State Emergency Service of Ukraine wrote on Telegram. A charred crater in the side of a high-rise residential block in Kyiv was the leftover of one of Russia's bombs, with debris and broken glass strewn across the parking lot in front of the building. Multiple fires broke out in various districts of the capital, with the attack also damaging train tracks in the surrounding Kyiv region, leading to lengthy delays, the national railway operator said. Three of those killed were first responders from the state emergency service, Interior Minister Igor Klymenko said. 'They worked under fire to help people. Another nine rescuers were wounded. Some of them are seriously injured, and doctors are fighting for their lives,' he wrote on social media. Several strikes also hit western Ukraine's city of Lutsk and Ternopil region. 'Today, the enemy carried out the most massive air attack on our region to date. There are multiple strikes,' Ternopil's regional military administration chief Vyacheslav Negoda said. At least 32 people were wounded in four different regions, including 15 in Lutsk, officials said. Russia said Ukrainian strikes overnight on Russia wounded three people in the western Tula region. The Russian defence ministry said it downed 174 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 10 headed for the Russian capital, according to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said. Putin has repeatedly rejected a ceasefire, with an escalation in deadly attacks in recent weeks. Russian negotiators have issued a host of sweeping demands on Ukraine if it wants to halt the fighting. They include completely pulling troops out of four regions claimed by Russia, but which its army does not fully control, an end to Western military support, a ban on Ukraine joining NATO as well as any Western military contingents or hardware being based in the country. But while delegates continued to stand-off in Turkey's capital Istanbul, Zelenskyy said Operation Spider's Web 'will undoubtedly be in [the] history books'. The attack was carried out exactly 29 years to the day after Ukraine handed over dozens of the same strategic bombers to Russia, along with up to 2,000 strategic nuclear warheads and 176 ICBMs in exchange for a promise not to be attacked, under the Budapest Memorandum. In their most daring attack of the war to date, Ukrainian special forces first smuggled 117 first-person view (FPV) kamikaze drones – which allow pilots to control them remotely through a live feed – into Russia. The weapons were smuggled in thousands of miles beyond the border, in wooden cabins, whose roofs had hidden compartments into which the small flying weapons were stashed. They were loaded on to civilian trucks heading into enemy territory, their hired local drivers seemingly unaware of what they were carrying. The strikes took place on Sunday, with footage released on Wednesday showing flames engulfing aircraft at four military airfields - Olenya in the Arctic region of Murmansk; Dyagilevo in western Russia; Ivanovo, northeast of Moscow; and Podmoskovye in Moscow. Sources inside Ukraine's SBU security service claimed the operation crippled 34 per cent of Russia's long-range strategic bombers, including the nuclear-capable Tu-95s and Tu-22s, often used to launch cruise missiles into Ukraine. Other aircraft which were hit included the nuclear-capable Tu-160 bomber, the An-12 transport plane and the Il-78 tanker, according to the SBU. A share of the successfully targeted aircrafts were destroyed completely while others will take a long time to repair, the SBU said. Some of the drones carried the mission out using AI and flew via a route that was programmed into them before the attack was launched. At least some of the trucks belonged to former DJ Artem Timofeev, suspected by Russian law enforcement off being a Ukrainian agent. A huge manhunt has been launched for his and his wife Ekaterina 'Katya' Timofeeva, 34, who is suspected to have aided him. The pair have gone missing, say reports.

Four killed in intense Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv
Update: Date: 2025-06-06T08:01:37.000Z Title: 'Russia must be held accountable,' Ukraine's Zelenskyy says Content: Responding to overnight attacks, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said 'Russia must be held accountable for this,' as he urged the US and Europe to put more pressure on Moscow. 'We must act decisively,' he said. Zelenskyy revealed that Russia used over 400 drones and 40 missiles, including ballistic missiles, in the overnight attack which 'targeted almost all of Ukraine.' Four people were killed and 49 people were wounded, he said, but that number may still go up as 'people are reaching out for help'. Since the first minute of this war, they have been striking cities and villages to destroy life. We've done a lot together with the world to enable Ukraine to defend itself. But now is exactly the moment when America, Europe, and everyone around the world can stop this war together by pressuring Russia. If someone is not applying pressure and is giving the war more time to take lives – that is complicity and accountability. We must act decisively. Update: Date: 2025-06-06T08:01:37.000Z Title: Morning opening: Deadly attacks on Ukraine Content: Russia mounted an intense and sustained barrage of Kyiv overnight, with missiles and drones targeting the Ukrainian capital where there was a succession of large explosions, Reuters reporters in the city said. By daybreak on Friday, authorities in Kyiv reported that four people were killed and 20 people had been wounded, of whom 16 had been hospitalised. 'Four people have been confirmed dead in the capital. Search and rescue operations are ongoing at several locations,' mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram. Operation of the city's metro transport system was disrupted because a Russian strike had hit and damaged a train between stations, the city's military administration said. The air attack also triggered fires in residential buildings in different parts of the city, authorities said. The attack came after Russia vowed to take revenge on Ukraine after a drone attack on the country's bomber fleet. Let's see what else the day brings us. I will bring you all the key updates from across Europe and from Ukraine. It's Friday, 6 June 2025, it's Jakub Krupa here, and this is Europe Live. Good morning.
