A schoolgirl, 14, detained in Russia on suspicion of ordering the contract killing of her single mother has been declared sane and can face court over the alleged murder, it has emerged.
Anastasia Milosskaya, 38, was beaten and strangled to death by ‘hired teenage assassins’ when she arrived home.
Two days later the estate agent’s body was wrapped in plastic and a mattress and dumped in a garbage skip in Balashikha, Moscow region.
Her daughter was arrested with a boy, 15, who had been living at the family’s flat.

A police medical examination has found the girl, not named, was of ‘sound mind’ when she allegedly ordered the killing, say reports.
This means she can face court over the alleged murder, with a maximum potential punishment of ten years starting in a youth correctional colony.
The mother had ordered the boy to leave their flat believing he was a bad influence on her daughter, it is alleged.
Law enforcement suspect that the daughter and boy then conspired to order two other teenagers to kill her mother for 350,000 roubles (£3,650) which the girl intended to obtain from Anastasia’s savings.
A family friend at the mother’s funeral held this week said: ‘I had no doubt about [her sanity].
‘I assure you she was a typical ordinary teenager. That’s the worst part.’
The underage accused are all between 14 and 17, and are suspected of murder or conspiracy to murder.
