A mother whose teenage daughter was killed after a javelin speared her through the eye in a sports field horror has condemned her child's PE teacher and the 16-year-old boy who threw the lance.
Anastasia R, 13, died in hospital four days after the freak incident in Prokhladny, Russia on May 3.
Speaking out about the tragedy, the teen's mother Elena said coach Vladimir Miroshnichenko, 51, had his back turned to his class when the 7-ft-long javelin was thrown by a student named only as Timur.
And in a shocking twist of fate, the javelin only struck the victim in the eye because she looked up just at the last moment when the boy called out a warning, Elena has alleged.
'Not before throwing the spear, but at that very moment he threw it, then he called out to her,' the grieving mother has said.
