In a confession on the main TV station in regional capital Grozny she told viewers: ‘I was on the wrong path. Don’t ask me for help anymore.’
The campaign to wipe out sorcery was ordered by Ramzan Kadyrov, the Leader of Chechnya and local pro-Vladimir Putin strongman.
Back in July, police also arrested an alleged witch Eset Esambayeva. She is alleged to have visited graveyards to carry out mysterious rituals involving melting of lead, said reports.
“She failed to explain herself,’ said one account. Esambayeva ‘pleaded guilty and begged for forgiveness’.
‘Raids against wizards have been carried on the initiative of Ramzan Kadyrov for several years,” explained a TV presenter.
