Gyulchehra Bobokulova has apologised for chopping off Anastasia Meshcheryakova’s head as revenge for Russia’s air strikes in Syria.

The 38-year-old – who is being held in a secure psychiatric hospital – said prison medics told her she will be released after three years of treatment.

But a psychiatrist warned there is a 50-50 chance she will attack again if she stops taking her pills.

Bobokulova – whose first name has also been spelled in English as Gulchekhra – moaned she is getting “fat and unattractive” in prison.

The killer carer – who was meant to be looking after disabled Anastasia – has begged to be sent back to her native Uzbekistan, a Muslim-majority former member of the USSR between Afghanistan and Kazakhstan.

Bobokulova sent shockwaves around the world after she was filmed brandishing Anastasia’s head outside a Moscow metro station minutes after decapitating her.

She claimed “Allah” told her to carry out the horrific attack as Russia was bombing Muslims.

In an interview published by the Mail, she said: “I did the wrong thing.

“I regret it. Wrong, wrong.

“Now I am here without my children and nobody needs me.”

Psychiatrists have diagnosed Bobokulova as insane – but police are still probing her possible links to terrorists.

However, she claimed: “I know everything.

“I have to undergo compulsory treatment for three years and then they will let me go.”

A psychiatrist who works with her said: “She has not attacked anybody [in jail] during the last three months.

“But this is thanks to intensive therapy only.

“If she stopped taking her pills right now, I couldn’t guarantee how she will behave.

“The chance of another crime is 50-50.”
