Reports indicate that she used a mobile device to photograph the scene after the alleged act of stabbing. The incident has prompted a formal criminal inquiry under the section addressing the murder of a minor. At present, the suspect remains in custody as investigators continue to gather evidence and establish exact timelines and circumstances surrounding the death.

An internal directive from Bastrykin AI, the head of the Russian Investigative Committee, directs the acting head to compile and convey these findings.

New information released yesterday identified the mother of the deceased child. Reports indicate she had a history of schizophrenia, a factor that has been noted by some sources while investigators continue to review medical and psychological histories as part of the broader inquiry. The overall focus remains on establishing a clear sequence of events, confirming the method by which harm occurred, and determining any potential influences that could inform charges and future proceedings.
