A mother who gave birth in a train toilet before hacking her baby son to death with a pair of scissors has been jailed for three years by judges in Russia.<\/p>\n
Judges in Moscow heard how the healthy boy had been stabbed 44 times just moments after his birth.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old, not named in local media, carried out the brutal slaying on a Lastochka intercity electric train, widely used across Russia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Local media reported that the baby’s body was found between Andronovka Station and\u00a0Nizhegorodskaya Station, both of which lie in the west of Moscow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Moscow Interregional Transport Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement on 1st December: ‘The Lefortovo District Court of Moscow sentenced a woman for killing a newborn on an electric train.<\/p>\n
‘She was found guilty of committing a crime under Art. 106 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (murder of a newborn child by a mother).<\/p>\n
‘The court found that the 25-year-old woman, being pregnant, while in an electric train travelling along the Moscow Central Circle, independently gave birth to a viable child.<\/p>\n
‘Deciding to kill the newborn, she stabbed him 44 times.<\/p>\n
‘Taking into account the gravity of the crime committed, as well as the personality of the defendant, the court sentenced her to imprisonment for a period of three years to be served in a general regime colony.<\/p>\n
‘The state prosecution in the case was supported by the Assistant Southwestern Transportation Prosecutor.’<\/p>\n
