Vladimir Court Sentences Kovrov Woman to 16 Years for Killing One-Year-Old Son

Judges found the crime met the code’s definition of special cruelty against a helpless minor.

Overview

  • The Vladimir Regional Court gave the 20-year-old a 16-year, one-month term in a general‑regime colony plus 18 months of freedom restrictions.
  • She was convicted under Article 105 part 2 (points “v, d”) and Article 156 of the Russian Criminal Code.
  • Investigators say she left her 2023‑born son alone without food or water for a prolonged period, then hid the body in a box near her building, where neighbors found it in October 2024.
  • Prosecutors had sought 18 years and one month, and the court ordered 1.5 million rubles in moral‑damage compensation to the child’s father.
  • The court limited her parental rights regarding an older child, who now lives with the father, and she continues to deny guilt, offering varying accounts.
