A Moscow court has jailed the son of Moscow State University associate professor Anna Kameneva, who was found dead with a cut to her neck. He is charged with murdering his mother.

Moscow's Tverskoy Court has ordered the pretrial detention of Anna Kameneva's son, alleging he murdered his mother. Kameneva, an associate professor at Moscow State University's Higher School of State Audit, was found dead with a cut to her neck in Zhukovka, a village outside Moscow, on August 26. Shell casings and a nonlethal rubber bullet gun were discovered at the scene.

The 18-year-old suspect fled the murder scene and remains at large, with sources suggesting his close friend may be responsible. Kameneva, who worked in the university's economic and financial investigations department since 2011, was married to Gadzhi Makhachev, a former State Duma member and Dagestan's former deputy prime minister.

Makhachev died in a 2013 car crash. The motive, according to reports, could be financially motivated.
