MOSCOW — A nanny accused of decapitating a 4-year-old girl and brandishing her head outside a Moscow subway station said during an apparent interrogation captured on video that the killing was an act of revenge against President Vladimir Putin for Russian airstrikes in Syria.

Asked about the video, which was released Thursday, Putin's spokesman said it was difficult to judge the testimony of a woman he called "clearly deranged.''

Gulchekhra Bobokulova, 38, was detained in Moscow on Monday after the child in her care was killed. Video footage posted online Thursday appeared to show police interrogating her. It was not clear where the video originated, and The Associated Press could not verify its authenticity or the circumstances in which it was taken. She appeared to be wearing the same clothes she wore during a court appearance on Wednesday.

In the video, she says the killing of the child was done in revenge. Asked who it was revenge against, she says "the one who has spilled the blood.'' Asked who that was, she replies: "Who spilled it? Putin has been dropping bombs.''

Russia has been carrying out airstrikes in Syria for five months to support Syrian President Bashar Assad's offensive against rebels. Russian officials have flatly denied numerous reports by international aid groups that accuse it of killing not only Islamic State fighters but also Syrian civilians.

1. one of my posts was hidden because i suggested as much.

2. Please elaborate.... not trying to bait you...just trying to understand....

what did your post say?

[MariaThinks]

3. that this murder was linked to something more and not an isolated case.

4. She has schizophrenia-this is an isolated case due to mental illness.

5. The question here is ...

... was she manipulated into saying that, or tortured into saying that. Yesterday we were reading that she said Allah told her to do it. The woman has a history of schizophrenia. The "voices in her head" explanation is much more plausible than this.

6. i imagine the poor 4 year old child being tortured and murdered by her

7. no argument there

It's horrific what happened to that poor child.

9. It's probably going to be very hard for any Uzbeks to get jobs as nannies in Russia now
