A 21-year-old medical student / social media influencer has been accused of killing her mother in a brutal kitchen attack.
According to local news, Anna Leikovic from Moldova was arrested for allegedly stabbing her 40-year-old mother, Praskovya Leikovic, with a knife and then proceeded to carve her heart, lungs and intestines while she was still in life. New York Post reports that shortly after the attack, Leikovic calmly took a shower and then left the house to meet her boyfriend.
The influencer, who has almost 16,000 followers on Instagram, was reportedly arrested the day after his mother’s death. The video of Leikovic’s first appearance appeared online, showing the young woman lying on a bench and cleaning her nails before the judge entered.
Sun. reports that a journalist at the meeting asked Leikovic directly if she was guilty of killing his mother. The woman laughed and said, “Goodbye.”
The incident was the result of an argument between the two that took place after the mother returned from a business trip to Germany. Praskovya Leikovic is said to have accused her daughter of drugs and arranged for her daughter to enter a rehabilitation unit. Leikovic’s uncle told the press that he could not believe the accusations, suggesting that the mother and daughter have a very close and loving relationship.
“Praskovya loved her daughter so much and spent as much time with her as possible,” he said. “It took two hours for the police to tell me that Anna is the main suspect. I couldn’t even imagine this.”
Komsomolskaya Pravda reports that Leikovic comes from a wealthy family in the region. It is said that her father, Vasily Aladov, is an owner of land and poultry farms who made an unsuccessful bid for the governor of Gagauzia in 2019.
Authorities say they are continuing to investigate the crime and have no other suspects at this time.
“I can say that she is being questioned, the police are carrying out certain investigative measures to obtain and consolidate evidence,” said Gagauzia Lyubov Yanak of the ATU Police Department. “The detainee is the main suspect, the probability of other suspects simply does not exist.”
