Russian woman jailed for murder

Russian national, Svetlana Batukova, was sentenced to 14 years for murdering her German husband, Horst Hans. He suffered a massive haemorrhage and died after she cut several pieces of flesh off his arms with a kitchen knife and the couple's two American Staffordshire Terriers ate his limbs.

The High Court concluded that the victim's injuries were caused by a knife and that the defendant sedated her husband with Diazepam before killing him.

Svetlana Batukova declared her innocence at a trial in Palma in June 2019 and said she tried to take her own life after the death of her husband.
