The children were taken away from Russia. A new shocking version of the death of strangled and burned babies in the Nizhny Novgorod region. Relatives of Elena Karimova, who killed two of her children, do not believe that the girl committed this crime Elena Karimova what the investigation says

In an old five-story building on the outskirts of the Avtozavodsky district of Nizhny Novgorod, they talk about their neighbor, 27-year-old Elena Karimova, only in a whisper. In a house built like a hostel, everyone knows each other - after all, there is one long common corridor and forty apartments on the floor. It’s not that you can’t get through, you won’t even be able to breathe imperceptibly. Therefore, the news about the monstrous murder committed by Elena was perceived especially sharply here.

Recall that for three days now in Nizhny Novgorod they have been discussing the brutal murder of two tiny children - 4-year-old Khadizhe and 2-year-old Suleiman. Suspicion immediately fell on their mother, Elena Karimova. Soon the woman was arrested. She did not deny her guilt and immediately told all the details of the brutal murder. Say, she first strangled the children, and then burned their corpses in an old abandoned vegetable store near Nizhny Novgorod. But the girl's relatives still do not believe in her guilt.

“We have been living in this house since 1989, and Lenochka was born in 1991. So I know her, one might say, from the cradle,” recalls the sister of Elena’s ex-husband Aziz Karimova. - She was always a very cheerful and sociable girl. I liked her very much. Therefore, when love broke out between Lena and my younger brother, I was only glad.

At that time, the girl had just finished school. The chosen one, A. Karimov, was three years older. Soon the young people got married and moved to live in Belgium. Luckily, my husband had an older brother living there.

They lived there for eight months. They didn’t get a job anywhere - they just rested and visited their brother, ”says Aziza. - And then they returned back, and soon divorced. I don’t know what happened to them - and he loved her, and she loved him. It is understandable - after all, her first man.

However, even after the divorce from her brother, Aziza did not break off relations with her former daughter-in-law - whatever one may say, but a native person. True, Elena herself did not stay long in Nizhny Novgorod. Soon after the divorce, she moved to Moscow.

“I don’t know how she lived there and what happened to her. It seems to have worked at a gas station, - says the woman. - Only then did I see her with her new husband - such a healthy, tall man. Although he is much older than her - he looks to be over forty. He comes from Azerbaijan. But he lives in Moscow. There she married him.

From a new spouse, Elena soon gave birth to a daughter, Khadizhe, and a couple of years later, a son, Suleiman. All acquaintances unanimously assure that she did not have a soul in children.

Nobody loved them like she did. I used to shake over every sore, ”recalls Aziza. Whether a pimple jumps up, whether the temperature rises - she does not sleep at night. She always asked me for advice: what pills to give, how best to take care of. I do have two children of my own. All in all, she was a wonderful mother. I don't even think that she could have killed them.

But Elena's relationship with the father of these children has not gone well lately. Therefore, last year the girl moved back to Nizhny Novgorod, to her mother.

In December 2017, her father died. Although they were divorced from her mother, she maintained a relationship with him. I was very worried after his death,” says Aziza Karimova. “Since last year, she has lived mostly here. Occasionally only went to his KIA in Moscow. I haven't seen her new husband since. And two months ago, in March, they officially divorced. As Elena explained, he began to raise his hand against her with the kids.

Elena's husband, apparently, did not show interest in his children. At least, all her acquaintances assure that he did not pay alimony. The girl herself, who was recently on maternity leave, did not officially work anywhere. True, she did not complain about financial difficulties - she managed to earn a living by distributing cosmetics. Elena was seriously interested in network marketing and sold household chemicals, sports nutrition, and cosmetics. The fact that she had nothing to support the children, no one could even think. Although it was this version that she voiced to investigators.

- I'm very sorry about what happened. I don’t even know how I could do this,” Elena Karimova told the correspondent of Komsomolskaya Pravda - Nizhny Novgorod. - Until May 2017, she lived with her husband, and then we divorced, and it became difficult to raise children. I never had an official job.

The hardest thing now is Elena's mother. Due to severe stress, the woman's health seriously deteriorated. She lives in the same house as Aziza Karimova, but she flatly refuses to communicate with journalists.

We won't comment on anything. Let the investigation look for her second husband, - Yelena's relatives shouted through the door.

Elena Karimova herself is now in custody. By the decision of the court of the Moscow district of Nizhny Novgorod, she was arrested for two months. The investigation into this heinous crime continues.

For three days now, Nizhny Novgorod has not been able to recover from the monstrous murder of two tiny children - 4-year-old Khadizhe and 2-year-old Suleiman. As it turned out, the kids became a victim of their own mother - 27-year-old Elena Karimova first strangled, then doused with gasoline and burned their bodies in cold blood in an abandoned vegetable store near Nizhny Novgorod.

Immediately after the arrest, the woman fully admitted her guilt and stated that lack of money forced her to commit murder. Like, after a divorce from her husband, there was nothing to keep the crumbs. However, her friends and acquaintances still do not believe what happened.

I did not expect this from Lena. Even on social networks, you can see how much she loved her kids, - her colleague Hazrat is horrified (the name of the hero has been changed - approx. Ed.) - So she often visited Moscow, but the kids were sick lately, and she had to live with her parents for now In Nizhniy Novgorod. Suleiman recently had chickenpox, so she dropped everything and rushed to him.

However, Elena Karimova also demonstrated her love for children on social networks. Just two weeks ago, on April 12, 2018, she wrote very touchingly about her daughter.

She is my soul, my dearest little man, my most long-awaited daughter. The one for which I am always on my feet, the one for which I live. She's my copy, just as bad as me. My air, my most affectionate, smartest girl.

However, two weeks later, she brutally dealt with the kids.

In an old five-story building on the outskirts of the Avtozavodsky district of Nizhny Novgorod, they talk about their neighbor, 27-year-old Elena Karimova, only in a whisper. In a house built like a hostel, everyone knows each other - after all, there is one long common corridor and forty apartments on the floor.

Elena Karimova

She is accused of strangling and burning the bodies of her son and daughter

In an old 5-storey building, which is located on the outskirts of the Avtozavodsky district of Nizhny Novgorod, they talk about their neighbor, 27-year-old Elena Karimova, only in a whisper. In the house, which was built on the principle of a hostel, everyone knows each other - after all, there is one long common corridor and 40 apartments per floor. It’s not something to pass here, even breathing imperceptibly will not work. Accordingly, the news of the terrible murder committed by Elena was perceived here with particular acuteness.

Recall that for the past 3 days in Nizhny Novgorod they have been discussing the brutal murder of 2 tiny children - 4-year-old Khadija and 2-year-old Suleiman. Suspicion immediately fell on their mother, Elena Karimova. Soon she was arrested. She did not deny her guilt and immediately reported all the details of the brutal murder. Say, she first strangled the children, and then burned their corpses in an old abandoned vegetable store near Nizhny Novgorod. But the native girls still do not believe that she is guilty.

“We have been living in this house since 1989, and Lenochka was born in 1991. So I know her, one might say, from the cradle,” says the sister of Elena’s ex-wife Aziza Karimova. – She was always quite a cheerful and sociable girl. Painfully, I liked her. Therefore, when love happened between Lena and my younger brother, I was only for it.

At that time, the girl had just graduated from high school. The chosen one, A. Karimov, was 3 years older than her. Soon the young legalized their relationship and moved to live in Belgium. Good thing my husband had an older brother there.

They lived there for 8 months. They didn’t get a job anywhere - they just rested and visited their brother, - Aziza notes. - And later they came back, and soon divorced. I don’t know what happened to them - and he loved her, and she loved him. It is understandable - no matter how her first man.

However, even after breaking up with her brother, Aziza did not break off relations with the ex-daughter-in-law - after all, she was a dear person. Although, Elena herself did not stay long in Nizhny Novgorod. Soon after parting with her husband, she moved to Moscow.

“I don’t know how she lived there and what happened to her. It seems that she worked at a gas station, - the woman notes. - Only then I noticed her already with a new spouse - such a healthy, tall man. Although he is much older than her - outwardly he is already over 40. He comes from Azerbaijan. However, he lives in Moscow. There she married him.

From her new husband, Elena soon gave birth to a daughter, Khadizhe, and a few years later, a son, Suleiman. All acquaintances as one repeat - she did not look for souls in children.

Nobody loved them like she did. I used to shake over any sore, - says Aziza. Whether a pimple appears, whether the temperature rises - she does not sleep at night. She always asked me for advice: what pills to give, what is better to do. I do have 2 kids myself. All in all, she was a great mother. I can't even imagine that she could have killed them.

But Elena's relationship with the father of these children has not been very good lately. Therefore, in 2017, she moved back to Nizhny Novgorod, to her mother.

Her father died in December of this. Although they were divorced from her mother, she communicated with him. I was very worried after his death,” notes Aziza Karimova. – Since 2017, she has lived mainly here. Sometimes I just left on my KIA to Moscow. I have not seen her new husband since that time. And 2 months ago, in March, they officially broke up. As Elena said, he began to raise his hand against her with the kids.

Elena's husband, most likely, did not show interest in his children. In any case, all her friends note that he did not pay alimony. The girl herself, who was officially on maternity leave recently, did not work anywhere. True, she did not complain about financial problems - she managed to earn a living by distributing cosmetics. Elena was very fond of network marketing and sold household chemicals, sports nutrition, and cosmetics. The fact that she had nothing to support the children, no one could think. Although it was this version that the woman voiced to the investigators.

- I'm very sorry about what happened. I don’t even know how I could do this,” said Elena Karimova. “I lived with my husband until May last year, and then we divorced, and it became difficult to raise children. I never had a formal job.

The hardest thing at the moment is Elena's mother. Due to the great stress, the woman's health deteriorated very much. She lives in the same house as Aziza Karimova, but she flatly refuses to communicate with the press.

“We won't say anything. Let the investigation look for her second husband, - Elena's relatives shouted through the door.

Elena Karimova herself is currently in custody. By the decision of the court of the Moscow district of Nizhny Novgorod, she was arrested for 2 months. The investigation into this heinous crime is still ongoing.

A court in Nizhny Novgorod, at the request of the Investigative Committee, arrested 27-year-old local resident Elena Karimova, accused of the brutal murder of her two children - a four-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son. She strangled them with her hands and then tried to burn the bodies twice to cover up the marks. Karimova herself cannot clearly explain her brutal act. She claims that she dealt with the children because she was tired of raising them alone and allegedly could not support them. It is already known that she was engaged in network business, for some time she lived in Moscow, where she has a brother, but she made debts there, after which the bailiffs opened enforcement proceedings against her.

First of all, a comprehensive psychological and psychiatric examination will be appointed, which should answer the question of the woman's sanity. In addition, the investigators will check the information that Karimova professed radical religious views.

The court session was held behind closed doors: the press was taken out of the hall because Karimova's lawyer feared for the life of her client. . When asked by one of the journalists whether her parents knew about the murder of her grandchildren, she replied that they would probably find out soon. Karimova looked quite adequate in court, she was sitting behind bars, her head bowed low.

The brutal murder of a four-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy became known by accident. On April 26, residents of the Osinki village in the Semyonovsky district of the Nizhny Novgorod region called firefighters - an abandoned granary on the outskirts of the village, located on the 65th kilometer of the Nizhny Novgorod - Kirov highway, was on fire. When the firefighters coped with the fire, they made a terrible find - charred small bodies. The forensic experts who arrived at the scene examined the bodies and tentatively established that they were children who had been killed before the fire, and then tried to burn them.

And the detectives of the criminal investigation department began to look for the parents of the children and eyewitnesses who would help restore the picture of the brutal murder.

Late in the evening, operatives detained the children's mother, 27-year-old resident of Nizhny Novgorod Elena Karimova. At the first interrogation, she admitted that she had killed her own children. According to Yulia Sklyarova, a representative of the regional Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, the investigators managed to detain her thanks to the help of one of the bystanders.

Investigators of the Investigative Committee thank the man, who became an indirect eyewitness of the incident, for his active citizenship, - said Sklyarova.

According to her, many residents of the Nizhny Novgorod region and the Semenovsky district responded to the call of detectives to assist in the investigation of this terrible crime.

So far, the picture of the murder looks like this: on April 25, 2018, early in the morning near the house on Busygin Avenue in the Avtozavodsky district, Karimova put her son S. and daughter H. in the back seat of a KIA Rio car, which she rented in one of the local car sharing. After that, she strangled the children with her hands and began to think about what to do next with the bodies. It was decided to burn the bodies in a deserted place.

She drove to the nearest gas station, where she bought ignition fluid, and went to the forest near the village of Shaldez, Semyonovsky district, where she doused the bodies of the kids with a special liquid and set them on fire. However, the mother was afraid that the hunters might notice her, so she knocked out the fire, put the bodies of the children in the back seat of the car and returned home to Nizhny Novgorod.

The next day, she again took the bodies of the murdered children to the Semyonovsky district to hide them. Not far from the village of Osinki, she found an abandoned building, brought the bodies of her son and daughter there, set fire to the premises, and left herself.

The reasons why the woman personally dealt with the children are not yet known. Karimova herself says that poverty allegedly brought her to the murder: she divorced her husband, did not work anywhere, she had nothing to support her children. All this turned out to be a lie. Although Karimova is divorced, she had money. At least the carsharing company told investigators that it was spending roughly $40,000 a month on car rentals. In addition, during a search of the apartment, the operatives found a newly purchased tour package abroad.

At the same time, Elena Karimova had large outstanding loans at least until 2016. Life learned about this from judicial sources and from the database of bailiffs. In 2016, a woman was issued a writ of execution on the forced collection of a debt to a bank, as she was late in payments.

As it turned out, she lives in two cities - Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod. She works in an online cosmetics store, which she reports on her Instagram page. Moreover, the girl turned out to be quite a popular Instagram blogger: more than 21 thousand people subscribed to her. According to some reports, her husband, with whom she had two children, is married for the second time. At the same time, the ex-wife brought him to justice in court for non-payment of alimony to the first family.

"She is my soul, my dearest little man, the most long-awaited daughter. The one for which I am always on my feet. The one for which I live. She is my copy, as harmful as I am. My air, my most affectionate, most intelligent girl," Karimova wrote under a photo of her daughter on April 21.

A few days ago, she posted a video on her Instagram, showing them having fun in a car with the kids.

"Yes, I'm not an ideal daughter. Even sometimes a bastard‍. For all my 26 years I have never listened to anyone since the age of 15. Always on my own mind ... In any matters relating to my life! I became independent early ... Even very early ... Despite all the obstacles from the outside ... Know, mom, life is not without mistakes, I built myself, every cell, every part of my brain. I know that I offended you very often over the past 11 years going like a sheep to my ideas, stepping over you, stepping over everyone who at least somehow tried to teach me about life. I don’t regret anything. And you don’t regret it. And remember always! , your daughter has a head for life and will never lose her! she wrote a message to her mother on Instagram last year.

Karimova's friend can't believe what happened. Irina N. believes that Elena is simply not capable of such a thing.

In general, where does this information come from? This a priori cannot be. She just threw me a joke yesterday on WhatsApp, we just joked, laughed, - the shocked woman recalls in a conversation with Life.

She characterizes Elena as a tender and caring mother who adored her children and literally "breathed over them."

It can't be, I don't believe in it, it's some kind of your duck. Idiocy, a cruel joke, - the woman continued. - She just breathed over her children. She breathed over her children! God forbid, she catches a cold or something ... she ran to them!

First of all, the investigators ordered a comprehensive psychological and psychiatric examination to understand the state of Karimova. In addition, there is information that recently Karimova has become interested in radical religious trends.
