Couple who ‘kidnapped seven-year-old girl to rape her before throwing her from window’ are arrested

A Russian woman has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping a seven-year-old girl so her boyfriend could rape the child.

Andrey Komaritsky, 46, faces charges of rape and attempted murder for his part in the plot after he was accused of throwing the girl out of a second-floor window in an attempt to kill her. 

Girlfriend Veronika Khomchuk, 28, is accused of kidnapping the girl by luring her under false pretences to her flat, where the brutal attack is alleged to have taken place.

The child is fighting for her life after being airlifted to hospital, but remains in ‘grave condition’, local reports on the remote Russian Kuril islands north of Japan state.
