A Russian mother has been detained by police for allegedly pouring gasoline into the mouth of her eight-year-old son then setting him on fire.

The boy died in hospital in Kursk, Russia after suffering horrific 45 per cent burns.

Anastasia Baulina, 31, a cashier, was furious that her son Andrey 'betrayed' her by telling his stepfather that she had been visited by her alleged lover, say reports.
