A woman identified as Daria Shavelkina, 30, was held by police as a murder case was opened, reported Moskovsky Komsomolets and Mash citing law enforcement sources.

Shavelkina visited her friend Yaroslava Korolyova, 30, to collect a maternity bandage, according to reports.

But while Yaroslava went to another room in her flat, the baby girl was thrown from the window of the apartment.

The appalling incident occurred in the district of New Moscow, situated near Vnukovo International Airport, at around 11.30am local time.

According to reports, Shavelkina – who is married and is said to be expecting a child – had worked as a Clarins cosmetics consultant.
