Police in Russia have arrested a teenage girl for allegedly ordering the contract-killing of her mother.

Anastasia Milosskaya, a 38-year-old estate agent, is thought to have been beaten and strangled to death.

Her body, bound in plastic and wrapped in a mattress, was discovered by a local janitor after being abandoned in a rubbish skip in the city of Balashikha near Moscow, according to Russian press.

Authorities have since detained the woman’s 14-year-old daughter, and a 15-year-old boy believed to be her daughter’s boyfriend, on suspicion of hiring two other teenagers to kill Ms Milosskaya for just 350,000 rubles (around £3,600). 

Reports state the 15-year-old boy had been living with the family at their flat.

Prior to her death, Ms Milosskaya had apparently tried to get him to leave, believing him to be a bad influence on her daughter.

The teenage couple are also accused of later letting their two accomplices into the apartment, and being present for the killing of Ms Milosskaya at the property, it has been reported. 

The alleged contract-killers are thought to have then left the body at the flat, returning two days later to dispose of it in the skip where it was later found.

The suspects, all under the age of 17, have reportedly been charged with murder and conspiracy to murder, and will remain in an adolescent facility pending further investigation. 

If convicted, they face a maximum sentence of 10 years, initially to be served in a youth correctional colony.

Investigators are reported to have further alleged the girl and her boyfriend had planned to live off her mother’s roughly £30,000 in savings. 

A friend of Ms Miloskayya’s daughter has been quoted as saying: ‘She spoke about hating her mother many times, even though her mother was a good person who loved her.’
