Meanwhile the defense represented by lawyer Oleg Kiyashko insisted that the troubled mom had asked the baby’s father to help her look after the daughter:
“Yes, she left the child at times.

Although she left her, sometimes she came back in the morning or the father was at home, so he could still look after the girl.”
All the attempts made by the defense to alter the charge from the murder of a minor to causing death by negligence yielded no results. The woman was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment with hard labour.
