Reports say that the suspect’s mother had come home from working in Germany and believed her daughter was on drugs.

She had arranged treatment for Anna who became angry. But her uncle Vladimir denied that the trainee medic had been put in rehab.

The uncle said: ‘This was a very good family. Praskovya loved her daughter so much, and she spent as much time with her as she could.

‘It took two hours for the police to tell me Anna is the main suspect. I could not even imagine this.’

Police spokeswoman Lyubov Yanak said: ‘The detainee is the main suspect.

‘There is no likelihood of other suspects. A thorough investigation is required to clarify the motive for the murder.’
