Overview

• Svetlana, a 46-year-old mother from Russia's Chelyabinsk region, allegedly plotted to have her 12-year-old daughter killed due to ongoing arguments and 'bad behaviour.'
• She reportedly offered £930 to an acquaintance, Andrey, 36, to drown the girl in the Bolshaya Karaganka River.
• The daughter overheard the murder plot and was later protected by Andrey, who hid her at his home before alerting law enforcement.
• Russian police arrested Svetlana, who now faces charges of incitement to murder a minor, carrying a potential 15-year prison sentence if convicted.
• The 12-year-old girl and her two siblings, aged 17 and 6, have been placed in protective state care following the incident.
