> A Russian politician was sentenced to 14 years in prison for beating her 12-year-old son to death with a dumbbell during an argument, reports said Thursday.

> Authorities said Galina Morozova, 56, bludgeoned her son, Alexander Parakhnyakov, in March because he had defied her and snuck out to go to a sleepover, according to The Sun.

> She then reported the boy missing, playing the frantic mother in public pleas on social media and taking part in searches in the city of Astrakhan, the report said.

> Her son’s body was found three months later, encased in concrete in the foundation of his older brother’s house, where police said Morozova buried him.

> It was her older son, 36-year-old Denis Parakhnyakov, who reported her to the police in June, the report said.
