Anna Barmina, 33, was dragged into the bushes and savaged with the piece with wood in an attack of sickening brutality.

Doctors said “all her internal organs” were damaged in the assault which was so savage it caused her to have a heart attack and go into a coma.

She was left in a hospital bed and only regained consciousness one year after the attack back in 2015 in Ufa, Russia.

Tragically, it has now been confirmed Anna – who never left her hospital bed or spoke again – has now died of her injuries two years on.

Anna was one of four women raped in one week by monstrous sex predator Gizar Ziyangareev.

Ziyangareev is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence, the longest of its kind ever handed down for rape in Russia.

He carried out a string of attacks after being released from jail after being convicted for sex attacks on an underage girl and his neighbour.

The rapist attacked Anna, stole her laptop, phone and around £745 in cash.

Anna’s mum Natalia branded him an “inhuman monster” and demanded the death penalty for Ziyangareev.

Police also said they have never come across a crime so cruel and attack.

And shockingly the monster recently had a month cut off his sentence after claiming he had to support his three children and elderly mum.

Anna’s mum said: "I just cannot understand how the court could give such a lenient term.

“[My daughter] will never get up, she will never speak. And he will get out of jail one day and continue to rape."

It is unclear whether Russian authorities will charge him over Anna’s death.

Her cousin Adel Galiev said: “The family is indignant at the arrogance of this person.

“How does he dare, after all that he did, ask for some kind of mitigation of his punishment while covering himself with his children and mother?”

The family have slammed the decision to reduce his sentence – even by a just one month.
