Mother Burns Her Eight-Yr-Old Son Alive Because He Told His Stepfather She Had Cheated On Him
A mother who burned her eight-year-old son to death because he told his stepfather she had cheated on him has been jailed in Russia.
Anastasia Baulina, 32, a cashier from the Kursk region near the border with Ukraine, admitted to dousing son Andrey with petrol before setting fire to him with a match.
Baulina had tried to convince a court that she only meant to punish Andrey and not kill him, saying she had quickly put out the flames with snow.
But judges dismissed her claims after 12-year-old daughter Natalya recounted how it was actually stepfather Pavel, 35, who extinguished the fire.
