An evil mother left her two children aged under three alone and without food in a flat for nine days while she 'had fun with her lover' shows 'no remorse' and 'laughs' at their ordeal, say court reports.
Vladislava Trokhimchuk, 23, is charged with the 'deliberate murder' of her son Danill, almost two, and severe cruelty to her daughter Anna, nearly three, who miraculously survived but was suffering malnutrition when rescued in Ukrainian capital Kiev.
Meanwhile the first footage and pictures has emerged of the flat-from-hell where the children were left alone locked in their 'nursery' described as 'pure Auschwitz, a torture room for children', as further distressing new details have emerged relating to the case.

Vladislava Trokhimchuk, 23, has been charged with the 'deliberate murder' of her son Danill, almost two, who she left with his three-year-old sister locked in a flat for nine days without food
Anna survived but was found severely malnourished after she and her starving brother ate wallpaper and their own excrement
The starving neglected pair ate wallpaper and plaster covers, as well as their own excrement, it is revealed.
And Fakty newspaper reported court evidence suggesting the mother 'tortured her children for a profit', by aiming to make them look so ill that she could post pictures online begging people for urgent cash gifts.
'It is most likely she wanted them to look unwell, pale and like be like skin and bones, so she locked them without food and water,' reported the paper.
Their teeth marks were found on the walls where they tried to eat wallpaper.
They desperately tore linoleum off the floor trying to open a gap under the door.
The tragedy was two years ago but the court case is underway now with the mother declared mentally fit to stand trial.
Trokhimchuk (right, in prison) is said to not show any remorse for her actions which led to the death of her son
The mother (pictured in court) is even said to have laughed at her toddler's horrific ordeal
The girl has recovered physically and is soon to be adopted.
Trokhimchuk - previously known by the surname Podchapko - is seen looking upset and crying in court but a journalist who has followed the case said this is not typical.
In her first account of why she left the children, the woman - who faces up to 15 years in jail and is branded 'evil' in Ukraine - appeared at a loss to explain why she had left the children alone for nine days.
'As soon as I could I went to the children - with groceries, and toys.
'Anna was lying on the bed, sleeping. I woke her, gave cottage cheese, and a banana. I kept her in my arms.
'And then everything was like in a terrible dream ... I do not understand how it happened. '
Danill and Anna were left alone in the Kiev flat which has been likened to Nazi concentration
