A search is underway following the discovery of a young boy’s decapitated head in a backpack thrown into Golyanovsky Pond in Moscow. Reports indicate the child was strangled before being beheaded, as per law enforcement sources. The initial cause of death is believed to be asphyxia, with evidence of forced strangulation on the child’s neck.
The boy, estimated to be between seven and 10 years old, has not yet been identified. It is suspected that the incident occurred two days prior, but further human remains were not found during a thorough search of the lake involving divers. The backpack was located inside a red plastic bag.
The distressing find was made by pond workers near the Kremlin, who promptly notified the authorities. Police are seeking information on a potential suspect described as approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall with a medium build, seen discarding a bag into the pond two days ago.
In a separate tragic incident, a two-year-old boy named Leonardo Ricci died at a nursery in Italy after accidentally strangling himself with his jumper while playing. Despite attempts by medics to revive him for over an hour, Leonardo was pronounced dead at the scene. The nursery has been closed as prosecutors launch a manslaughter investigation.
The Koiné cooperative, responsible for the nursery, expressed deep sorrow over the child’s death, extending condolences to the family and offering full cooperation with the investigation. Local residents were visibly emotional at the nursery, with the mayor and prosecutors involved in the aftermath of the heartbreaking event.
