Mother is raped, beaten and has her hand cut off with a knife in front of her five-year-son during terrifying ‘three weeks of torture’ by her partner
A Russian mother was raped, beaten and had her hand cut off with a knife in front of her five-year-old son during a terrifying “three weeks” of torture by her husband.
Anastasia, 28, said her husband, Vladislav, inflicted medieval torture on her in an alleged copy of a notorious previous case in the country.
Their hysterical five-year-old son was watching cartoons, only to see the brazen man, 27, cut off her right hand.
By the time he cut off her hand, he had already forced her to falsely confess on video that she was a prostitute and that her mother was a pimp, she said.
He also shaved her head. “Bald, covered in bruises and blood, I said all this on camera, if only he would stop beating me,” she said.

The hands cutting was the culmination of a three-week kidnapping ordeal when she was handcuffed to a bed in a Perm flat, beaten repeatedly, raped and forced to take the same drugs as him, according to her testimony.
He showed her a video of Margarita Grachyova, now 30, whose jealous husband chopped off her hand with an ax — and told Anastasia that the same thing would happen to her.
But Anastasia managed to hide his axe, so he ordered her to sit on the floor and used a knife, hammering the blade, to cut off her hand, she said.
“My son sat across from me and watched cartoons, so I tried not to show pain,” she told Komsomolskaya Pravda.
But the boy came in and saw the hand lying on the floor.
He accused his father, “Why did you cut off mom’s hand?”
The man lied, “Mommy and I are playing, I’m fixing mom’s arm.”
He wrapped a cloth around her arm to stop the blood flow, then put the hand in a pocket, then two pockets. She said he wanted to throw it away so the police wouldn’t find it.
He said to me, ‘I’ll make sure it never gets sewn up again’

She said, “Every minute it got worse and everything was covered in blood. I asked him to let me walk. My hand began to burn furiously.
“I entered the bath and asked Vlad to untie the cloth, and immediately the blood flowed like a fountain. I was abruptly thrown into a sweat, trembling and a hissing sound appeared in my ears, I began to lose consciousness.
“I tried to pull my head back to stay in reality.
“Vlad brought me water, I took a few sips, but my legs buckled and I fell to the floor, my arm hanging over the bath, where the blood was flowing.
“The plug was in and the bath slowly filled with blood.”
He called an ambulance – and then fled with their traumatized son.
He was arrested the next day and is under criminal investigation for grievous bodily harm and rape.
Grachyova, then a mother of two, became an anti-domestic violence campaigner and TV presenter after her horrific ordeal in 2017.

Both of her hands were cut off, but the doctors managed to sew one back on, and she got an artificial limb on the other.
The European Court of Human Rights has ordered Vladimir Putin’s government to pay her more than £300,000 in damages after her monstrous husband Dmitry Grachyov, 30, beat her more than 40 times with a blunt ax in a forest.
He was imprisoned for fourteen years in a penal colony of a strict regime.
The court warned of the “stupendous scale” of violence against women in Putin’s Russia.
