According toRT, the woman said she was 'fed up with children,' and 'decided to get rid of them'.

The woman - whose husband was away on a business trip - lived on the 8th floor of the building and it is believed she took the children to the 15th floor before throwing them off on Sunday.

One neighbour in the same apartment block described the horrific scenes following the incident to Life News.

The man, who wished to remain anonymous, said his wife woke him up to say that children were falling out of the building.

Awful: The mother is calm as two other concerned neighbours arrive to detain her. It has been reported that the woman was 'fed up with children,' and 'decided to get rid of them'

Horrific: The woman is believed to have told a neighbour that she 'threw' her children away

The couple ran out to see the two children lying on the ground in front of the main entrance to the complex.

The man added: 'Just at that time their mother was leaving the building. We asked her if these were her children and she replied, emotionlessly, "Yes, I threw them away.”'

CCTV from the apartment block - as reported byNew York Daily News - shows one of the children landing just out of frame at the front of the building.

It then shows Mrs Ryabkova coming downstairs wearing jeans and a white T-shirt.

Investigation: Police officers are pictured arriving at the complex of flats shortly after the incident

As she calmly sits in the lobby of the building, shocked neighbours surround her in an attempt to prevent her from escaping.

The video ends by showing police officers arrive at the building to discover the grim scene and arrest the mother.

Mrs Ryabkova will be sent to a psychiatric hospital for tests while the investigation into what happened continues.

So sad

This woman must have severe psychological issues. I feel horrible for those poor children. Not to mention the poor neighbors that witnessed this.

She killed them because she's crackers. Sad.

This is so sad, how horrible for the dad to get this call, for the boys and all the people that saw them outside.

Well if the husband was cheating, she is justified, right? What did he expect?

**MohandasKGanja** · June 26th, 2012, 01:06 PM

If the husband had been putting his excess sexual energy into his job, he could have afforded a nice ranch-style house and this never would have happened. You can spend all day dropping a kid out of a rancher's window, and the only bad thing that's going to happen is you'll mess up your flower bed.

Interesting how she determined that dropping them out of the eighth floor window wouldn't be sufficient.

Her eyes scare me. I kinda hope she's too crazy to ever realise what she did.

Don't really know what to say that hasn't been said.

This reminded me of the woman in FL (I think) that shot her two teenagers dead (a girl & a boy) because she felt like they were disrespectful to her. Her husband was away on business too, I think, when she did it.
Anyone remember the story I'm referring to? It seemed like it was maybe 2 or 3 years ago. IDK what ever happened to her, she seemed completely detached.
