A Dagestani woman has been convicted of murdering her young daughter.

A Kaspiysk resident who brutally beat her daughter has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

As reported by Kavkazsky Knot, at the end of May 2025, the prosecutor's office transferred to the Kaspiysk city court a case against a local resident for the beating of her three-year-old daughter, which resulted in the girl's death.

The Kaspiysk City Court heard a criminal case against a local resident born in 1996, who was accused of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm, resulting in the death of the victim through negligence, 1 , the press service of the Dagestan courts reported on their Telegram channel.

The court determined that the tragedy occurred on March 20, 2025. While at home in Kaspiysk, the woman struck her young daughter in the face and back of the head with her hand. After the beating, the girl fell into a coma and died in the hospital a month later.

"The court sentenced the defendant to 10 years' imprisonment in a general regime penal colony. The court's verdict has not entered into legal force and can be appealed to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Dagestan," the press service said in a statement.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that at the end of March, a court in Dagestan found a local resident guilty of torturing her young daughter and sentenced her to five years in prison. During the trial, it was established that from January to March 2024, the woman systematically beat her young daughter.

High-profile cases of female violence against children in Dagestan and Ingushetia are linked to the general hardening of society, changing family structures, and the practice of transferring children to the father's family after divorce, according to human rights activists previously interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot."
