Officers found Ms Sosina-Novikova’s dead body on the bed and her son, who appeared to be under the influence of drugs, in the room.

The pair were attending the Family Constellations and Cosmic Power workshop run by German psychotherapist, Bert Hellinger.

“And later in the apartment – that is, our hotel – some strange things started happening, hallucinations, as I see it now,” according to the IBTimes.
Ms Sosina-Novikova is divorced from Mr Sosin, the owner of a number of stores that sell construction and renovation materials.
