Slay Queen Confesses To Killing Her Two Children And Setting Them Ablaze

A cosmetics queen on Instagram has made known that she has killed her own children and set fire to her after she claimed she could no longer support them.

Divorcee Elena Karimova, who has 21,000 subscribers for her online cosmetic sales activities, is being investigated for strangling her daughter, Khadizha, four, and son Suleiman, two, in the back seat of her rented Kia Rio.

The Russian woman - who had been left with repaying loans after being divorced by her husband - then bought fuel from a gas station, drove the bodies to a forest and set her dead children on fire.

Fearing that she would be seen by the locals, the 27-year-old put the charred bodies back in her car and returned home.

The next day she put the corpses in an abandoned warehouse near Nizhny Novgorod in the west of Russia and set it on fire.

Firefighters initially found what turned out to be a seriously burned body after extinguishing the fire

The local people had noticed Karimova's car on the spot and the police questioned her, which led to an immediate confession, reports say. "I could not take care of my children," she told officers.

Later in the courtroom, where she was taken into pre-trial detention, she said, "I'm very sorry for what happened." I do not even know how I could handle this. "
