A lifestyle blogging father has confessed to st@rving his newborn son to d€ath after trying to prove the baby could survive on nothing but sunlight.
According to Mail Online, Maxim Lyutyi, 44, and partner Oxana Mironova, 34, lost their child Kosmos to ‘pneumonia and emaciation’ after they failed to properly feed the boy, less than one-month-old.
The Russian father faces up to eight years in jail and a fine for the ‘intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm’.
He admitted his guilt in a final court appearance ahead of sentencing this week in Sochi.
The court was earlier told Lyutyi wanted to raise the newborn on prana-eating, a diet in which people go without food and water for a long time and ‘feed on the sun’.
He was accused of barring Mironova from Bosom feeding the child, and was described as a ‘radical raw food fanatic’.
‘He wanted to experiment on the child, feed him purely with the sun, and then advertise it to others that this is how you can eat,’ said one source.
Oxana’s mother Galina accused the sinister Lyutyi of running a ‘sect’.
‘I was against my daughter being in this sect,’ she said.
‘I felt everything, and told her that Maxim was crazy, but she didn’t listen to me. Oxana lived there like a guinea pig. Each time she became colder to me… She was his slave.’
Another relative of Mironiva said: ‘Oxana told me that she was afraid of him. She wanted to leave him many times, but he held her back…
‘He wanted to raise [his son into] a man who only eats the sun.’
