Instead of prison time for killing her son, a child-murdering mother is going to the war zone

In this shocking episode of From Russia with Crime, we tell the story of Irina Shatova, a mother from Perm who murdered her 9-year-old son—then packed his body into a suitcase and dumped it near a garbage bin. Now, she’s applying to join the war in Ukraine—and under new Russian law, that could let her avoid prison altogether. This is the story of a crime… and a country where even child murder can be forgiven—if you're willing to kill for the state.
