    Russian mother killed her two sons, aged 4 and 7, by throwing them from 15th-floor balcony because she was ‘fed up’ with their behaviour

    Galina Ryabkova, 30, was seen looking emotionless on surveillance video from the block of flats following the incident

    Neighbours in the complex were alerted after hearing the bodies of the boys hitting the ground

    The mother said she was 'fed up with children,' and 'decided to get rid of them'.

    Galina Ryabkova, 30, was seen looking emotionless on surveillance video taken from the block of flats in Moscow, Russia, in the moments following the incident.

    Neighbours in the complex were alerted after hearing the bodies of the boys, aged 4 and 7, hitting the ground.

    Shocking: A resident in the complex attempts to talk to Mrs Ryabkova after the incident in an attempt to prevent her from escaping

    Despite the efforts of neighbours, the youngsters died before the emergency services arrived.

    According to RT, the woman said she was 'fed up with children,' and 'decided to get rid of them'.

    The woman - whose husband was away on a business trip - lived on the 8th floor of the building and it is believed she took the children to the 15th floor before throwing them off on Sunday.

    CCTV from the apartment block - as reported by New York Daily News - shows one of the children landing just out of frame at the front of the building. It then shows Mrs Ryabkova coming downstairs wearing jeans and a white T-shirt.

    As she calmly sat in the lobby of the building, shocked neighbours surround her in an attempt to prevent her from escaping.

    The video ends by showing police officers arrive at the building to discover the grim scene and arrest the mother.

    It has been reported that Mrs Ryabkova has attempted to kill herself in the past and that her husband may have been cheating on her.

    Mrs Ryabkova will be sent to a psychiatric hospital for tests while the investigation into what happened continues.

    Can't recall ever seeing something quite as chilling. Like something from a horror flick. Hope she gets the help she needs but can't see how anyone could overcome doing that to their own kids. So sad, all round.

    Be warned, the following is both heartbreaking and chilling:

    Mod note, video does not contain graphic images of the fall but if you feel you shouldn't watch it, then don't

    If that Youtube footage is of her throwing her kids off her balcony then I really really don't want to see it :cool:

    i think i can also live my life without seeing that footage


    Poor kids


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 639 ✭✭✭Shivers26


    That is truly shocking. I'll decline watching the video, don't think I'd be able.

    There must be a serious mental illness going on here (untreated PND can have devastating results). I hope she gets the help she needs.

    RIP little boys

    No, it doesn't show the actual moment itself - just the moments leading up to it and directly after, including her being taken into custody.

    In Soviet Russia, Mummy throws YOU off balcony!

    Incredible. R.I.P to her two sons.

    The line "'decided to get rid of them' resonated with me. It seems as if she considered this a type of abortion somehow, and done in country that has more abortions than live births.

    thats worse than the woman who assaulted her 8 month old child on video for everyone to see, at least the children are safe now :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭Hande hoche!


    Quite shocking.

    Had to be done at some stage.

    No, the youtube video doesn't show her doing it. All you see the edge of the older kid's shoe (literally the edge of his shoe) when he hits the ground, that's all that was on the footage.

    It really just shows her coming back into the apartment block with the two kids, then much later on she's walking out of the apartment block with a smile on her face and a guy stops her from leaving before calling the cops.

    She's obviously seriously deranged. Maybe her intention was to kill herself but couldn't muster up the courage to jump off the balcony.

    That is ****ed up.

    Btw, video doesn't show any graphic images thankfully except for a things just out of frame and images of the boys under tarps.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭tmc86


    Clearly the mother is in no sane mind state especially with her choice of words "fed up" and "get rid of them".

    RIP to the little boys a horrific waste of life and let's hope that the mother gets the treatment that she needs to bring her back.

    Pity those kids won't get the treatment to bring them back.

    RIP to them.

    The part of it all that I find most chilling and why I said it is like something from a horror flick, is that they lived on the 8th floor and she brought them up to the 15th specifically.

    I could somehow wrap my head around someone snapping for a few seconds, losing it and throwing a tantrum kid off a balcony but it's the calm way she took these steps that I find so bone-chilling. Your heart has to go out to all concerned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,195 ✭✭✭Corruptedmorals


    Awful. Unless this was her one and only display of psychosis, which is unlikely, you'd have to lay some blame at the husbands door, she badly needed help. Could well have been pnd untreated for years.

    Well after reading about what the mother did and then seeing a small part of one of her kids hit the floor at the corner of the screen was enough eh.

    You dont have to see them splatting into the floor to be shocked.
