A woman has confessed to killing and castrating her former son-in-law “because he was late with alimony payments”.

After stabbing Dmitry Bogdanov, 32, and using a kitchen knife to slice off his testicles, she then threw them out of her open flat window, said Russian police.

The 49-year-old woman and her partner from Borovichi in Novgorod region were detained by Russian police.

Mr Bogdanov had shared a drink with his former mother-in-law and her partner when a row broke out.

The unnamed woman accused of failing to pay money and give help to her daughter - his ex-wife - and grandson, the victim’s son.

She stabbed him several times with a knife and when Mr Bogdanov collapsed, her boyfriend grabbed the knife and continued the attack.

The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a murder case.

In 2018, a woman who used a large kitchen knife to chop off her ex-husband's penis and testicles was jailed for four years.

Lira Plaksina claimed she severed his manhood after he appeared at her home drunk and demanded sex.

The 47-year-old Russian woman told the court her husband would beat her and she had acted in self defence.

But the judge, decided she had severed the 44-year-old man’s penis and scrotum as he was lying asleep on the sofa at her village home.
