Natalia Aleksandrovna Hitchcock is a Russian mother of two sons who lives in Wisconsin.
The Ukraine Russia war is not affecting the people from the two countries, but it has impacted many outside the nation as well. Therefore, fear has prevailed everywhere.
Some people are fearful to the extent that they have developed anxiety and mental illness. And that is what most people think happened with Natalia Aleksandrovna Hitchcock. She murdered her child of eight and had attempted to drown the other one days before the incident.
Who Is Natalia Aleksandrovna Hitchcock?
Natalia Aleksandrovna Hitchcock murdered her eight-year-old son and attempted to kill her 11-year-old while both were at home during a school district’s spring vacation. The incident took place on March 30.
She murdered little Oliver only days after attempting to drown his 11-year-old brother in the bathtub. The eldest child found his brother’s lifeless body on his bedroom floor while he saw his mother sitting on the bed with a large knife, writes NY Post.
The surviving boy’s screams woke their father up from his sleep, and he rushed to rescue Oliver. However, he died two days later.
The legal documents stated that when the father was trying to save his child and doing CPR on him, his wife walked around the house in a daze while mumbling that she would kill everyone.
Previously, she had also tried to overdose on drugs and stabbed herself in the chest to cut her heart out. However, when the authorities asked her husband if she suffered from some mental illness or had a history of it, he denied it.
Oliver Hitchcock Mother Natalia Aleksandrovna Hitchcock Charged In Son’s Death
Natalia Aleksandrovna Hitchcock is charged with murdering her son, Oliver Hitchcock.
Her spouse said that she seemed to have mental illness as he explained her paranoia about Russia’s escalating attack on Ukraine. In addition, her parents were in Russia, and she was enraged that she could not plan flights to see them.
She was frightened that “someone from a bigger city” might come to assault them or sell them on the dark web. When police interrogated her, she said she was afraid that the Russian government would take away her children and abuse them.
She felt that she was getting strange looks from people as if they thought she was a spy, which disturbed her. She was afraid that social workers would come and take away her children.
Thus, she killed her son because she did not want to see him being abused.
