A young mother who left her baby to die while she partied for a week with friends is facing ten years in prison in Russia.

Viktoria Kuznetsova, from Rostov, western Russia waited until her husband had been called up for military service before locking her nine-month-old baby Egor in the house.

The 17-year-old then set off to see her friends, staying in college accommodation while her child slowly starved to death.

She is said to have posted on Facebook that 'everything is OK' just a day after abandoning her baby before boasting that she was 'hanging out with Nastya' and that she had dyed her hair black.

Reports in Russia say she told staff at the student dormitory that her baby was staying with an aunt.

But the little boy was found dead when neighbours became suspicious and called police.

Kuznetsova was arrested and is said to have confessed to police that she did not want to care for the baby.

When he was aged just one month, it was revealed, she had passed the baby to an orphanage - only for the organisation to return the boy to her when he was seven-months-old.

Her devastated husband is said to be seeking a divorce. Kuznetsova faces 10 years in jail.
