A man named Anton, 40, later called police to report that he had found the beheaded body of his niece Kristina, aged 11, in his flat, according to Vecherny Kharkiv.

The man said he lived with his sister Tatiana, 38.

Later reports suggested the girl was aged 12 or 13.

The uncle said Tatiana had a job and although the family was poor, the girl was not socially deprived.

The woman was detained on suspicion of murder.

A neighbour said: "The woman was normal, nothing strange was noticed.

"She was not a drug addict or alcoholic.

"She drank a bit on public holidays, but we all do.

"The girl was cheerful, good, went to school. What can I say?"
