A ‘monster’ filmed throwing a toddler to the floor in an airport lounge in Moscow has confessed to seeking to kill the helpless boy.
Appalling footage showed Belarus national Vladimir Vitkov, 31, a nuclear power plant construction worker, pick up and slam the 18-month-old child down at the Russian capital’s Sheremetyevo terminal.
The child had arrived in Russia minutes earlier after he and his mother fled the bombing in Iran, say reports.
Little Yazdan, aged 18 months, is now fighting for his life with serious skull fractures and spinal injuries.
Vitkov was reported by some outlets to have been on the same flight as the child and his mother who were escaping from war-ravaged Iran where they had been visiting relatives.
They had reached Afghanistan after fleeing Iran.
Earlier, Vitkov had been fired from a nuclear power plant construction job in Egypt after failing a spot check for drugs and alcohol, and was returning home via Moscow, according to a friend.
‘He was valued there, appointed a foreman,’ the friend told Daily Storm.
