The three were outed on the internet before police took action, and they could now face up to ten years in jail if convicted of this and other offences. 

Alina Orlova, 18, and Alyona Savchenko, 17, 'systematically abused animals, mutilated, and killed them with the use of sadistic methods', said the Investigative Committee, in charge of probing serious cases.

Online pictures of their vicious cruelty to dogs and cats was posted online, say investigators in Khabarovsk. The animals were alleged to have been struck with a bat, bound, stabbed, had their eyes gouged out, and hanged.

The pair will also be charged with a separate allegation of armed robbery, while Savchenko and male friend Valery Smyshlyaev, 18, faces court accused of duping a man on a date with an underage girl, and then seeking to blackmail him by accusing him of being a paedophile. Investigators indicated they believed he had knowledge of the animal cruelty. 

Orlova had initially denied her involvement but her distinctive tattoo was seen on online pictures. 

When Savchenko was detained, it was alleged she called herself the 'Devil's Duchess', and in one image she was shown holding a recently-killed puppy's heart with the  caption: 'It's for you Anubis' - the original Egyptian 'god of the dead'. 

She claimed that she needed 'to be constantly covered in blood to feel warmth', she said. Her clothing in macabre online postings is shown smeared in blood from the dead animals.

One witness told how Savchenko showed her a picture of 'a cat with its belly cut open', and people reported that stray dogs had 'started disappearing' last summer.

Images showed a dog nailed to a wall, according to local reports. A white dog was hung by its collar and shot with an air gun. A black dog was was 'crucified' and dissected. 

Baseball bats, chemical liquids, tongs, and other instruments of torture were used on the animals, pictures posted online showed. 

Both teenagers were said to be members of a now-deleted social media group called Mortem where users shared pictures of animal dissection and  killed pets.

The case involves 'dozens' of tortured animals, and a 'pet cemetery' in an abandoned building in Khabarovsk with the 'bones of puppies, and the remains of an adult dog', say reports. 

A spokesman for the committee said: 'During a search of one suspect's apartment, the skull of a cat was found. Home computers and phones were seized for analysis.'

Animal protection campaigner Anastasia Fedyanina had urged the Investigative Committee to examine whether the animals were killed as part of a 'hard crush' sexual fetish with videos of young women slaughtering animals supplied to China.

She said at the time: 'Masochists viewing these videos imagine themselves in the place of the tortured animals. The role of the torturers is usually taken by prostitutes or a young woman with sadistic inclinations.' 

The committee has not made clear if this forms part of the case to be heard later this year in court. 

Orlova, a university student, posted a social media message saying: 'I would like to speak in my defence.... I do not know who has put this stuff to the Internet - it is not the first time somebody wants to frame me. But I did not kill anyone and do not intend to kill ...'

Now if everyone who is disgusted by this would get behind those trying to save all those puppies being eaten in China and Korea we might actually get somewhere on the animal abuse front. Google it. It’s horrifying how they kill them. Completely disgusting and inhuman. It’s absolutely no difference.

Um, did I read it right, 10 years for one of the girls? I skimmed through it. Already knowing what they did. Can't read it. It's killing me already. So sad there's this evil out there. There's more we don't know about. Ugh, makes me nauseous. 10 years isn't enough. These people are future serial killers. Mark my words. Who's fault will it be when that shit happens? Don't ever let them out. They should get what they gave to those puppies. Only right.

I just discovered this case and I am absolutely horrified. Anyone who tortures and murders animals for fun is going to end up killing humans. Eventually, the animals wouldn't give these girls the fix that they crave, so they would move on to children or the elderly. They should spend the rest of their lives in prison for their atrocious crimes.

Brent USA, that's like saying all law enforcement should only investigate murder & f@#$ all other crimes. I.e. "Woman was beaten, paralysed & violated but hold the "hoopla" police not available for a non murder crime." Obviously sacrificing people is seriously f&%$#d up & I'm sure if there's an article about it there would be A LOT OF "hoopla" about it.

Right on! Lynn Williamson & Ellyn LaVine u took the words right out of my keyboard. These immature sadistic pieces of s$%# need to be tried as adults, locked up for at the very least 5yrs, then after their release pay a massive fine donated to the rescue groups, 10yrs formal probation, 12-24months of community service serving animals(under close supervision) & finally placed on informal probation, micro chipped & ankle bracelet until their 60yrs old because the sick perverted demons will turn into serial killers if given the freedom to do so.

It is human tragedy when animal killed in this way beings so much anger, but the silent screaming of the aborted unborn, ripped apart alive and fighting the doctors tool, brings not even a raised eyebrow. The animals eat each another alive and screaming, and that is law of nature. If we save the unborn first, then saving animals is not wrong but we must not murder our babies but think the animals are like a God. They are not. The animals torture each another and do not care for us like we care for them. The abortion is such a satan. This world is an ill place today indeed!!!

I have just seen this. Been a long time coming for them to receive justice. These three cannot escape what's coming for them. It will be unseen and unheard. She is nothing to the devil and Anubis would want nothing to do with her ugly horrid spirit. She will be cast into an eternal dream of reliving what she did to those innocent animal spirits day in day out. It's coming for you three you just dont know it yet. Prison was the easy part. The ring leader Alyona is the ugliest of all and will be the one who suffers the most. She is no goddess and has no power like she thinks. She will get what's coming. It's already written but we just dont always know when it will happen. One thing is for sure is that she will not stop doing stuff and will move onto people. She should be eliminated but Russia dont have the courage to do it.

Animal cruelty is depravity and senseless and as long as these people get light charges or sentences the problem will grow. They need prison and psychiatric care, not release on probation. This behavior is mental illness of the worst kind. If they are involved in crush videos, they are completely without shame, remorse and should be kept away from society. The USA has a multitude of Animal Rights and protection against cruelty to animals in every city and state. Even with this, the cruel and sick behavior continues. If you see something- then say something. Don't be a bystander. Get involved to help- in any ways you can.

I agree with another posting that President Putin needs to know of this case. I do believe he is an animal lover. Perhaps his awareness of case will insure a severe sentence, and further investigation.
