Son Of Nanny Who Murdered 4-Year Old Girl In Russia Also Held By Police In Connection With ISIS

The son of a Russian nanny accused of beheading a four-year-old is being held by police after he was encouraged to fight in Syria by ISIS.

Rakhmatillo Ashurov, 19, is currently held in detention in his native Uzbekistan as Russia laid formal murder charges against his mother Gyulchekhra Bobokulova, 38.

This is after police claim he was encouraged to join ISIS in Syria.

The teen is being held on a 15 day "administrative punishment" which "was applied in order to prevent a crime and as a disciplinary measure", said a law enforcement source in Tashkent.

They added: "Being surrounded by people from Central Asia, he was influenced by recruiters who encouraged him to take part in fighting for terrorists in Syria."

This is after reports the woman was radicalised by her husband Suhrob Muminov, who is reportedly a frequent visitor to the Urgut Mountains, Uzbekistan, where ISIS have been recruiting men and women, but the Police are yet to apprehend the man.
