Grandma who cut son into 70 pieces is spared jail because son was fond of beating and abusing her

A grandmother killed her “tyrant” son by hitting him over the head with a large frying pan, before using a power saw to cut his body into more than 70 pieces. The 63-year-old Russian woman - an accountant named only as Lyudmila R - was found guilty of murder but spared jail because she was provoked by him repeatedly beating and abusing her, and making her life “hell”.
On one occasion the 42 year old man - pictured but whose name was not released - attempted to rape her “after drunkenly mistaking me for his ex-wife”, she told detectives.
She had begged police to protect her but officers did no more than speak to him, she said.
The woman had been detained in Khabarovsk as she carried “suspicious” black bin liners from her flat to a waiting taxi.
Neighbours had called police because they detected the “smell of a dead body” from her apartment.
She told officers the bags contained “rotten bear meat” brought by her son from a hunting trip.
But a police examination showed human hands and feet in a bag and she was detained.
A video discreetly shot by a neighbour shows the black bags being checked. A horrific picture shows her son’s human remains stashed in the bin liners.
“For about three hours the woman kept telling us the story about bear meat,” said a police source.
“But then she realised that it was nonsense and told the truth.”
She then told how her life had been “turned upside down” when her son was thrown out by his wife and came to live with her.
