ONE of Russia’s most senior doctors has called for paedophiles to face the death penalty after a spate of shocking child sex abuse cases.

       It comes as a girl, 10, was groomed for two months by a 33-year-old man before being lured to his home.

       Police say they intervened after “hacking” her social media and rescued her from suspect Sergey Malsky, 33, some 35 miles from her home in St Petersburg.

       She had been “molested” after being promised a hamburger and French fries, as well as presents.

       In another, father Vyachelav M, 34, found footage showing his daughter, nine, being abused by his best friend, who had also raped other children in the village in Samara region, Russia.

       The father killed Oleg Sviridov, 32, and is now under house arrest with a campaign from locals underway to acquit and spare him jail.

       In yet another devastating case, two schoolgirls Ulyana Degtyar and Anastasia Fesler, both 10, were raped and killed after sickening CCTV footage showed them being whisked away by a convicted child sex attacker.

       Viktor Pesternikov, 41, a part-time driver and father-of-two, has been detained on suspicion of carrying out the attacks.

       He reportedly lured the girls away by buying them treats at a shop in Kiselyovsk, in Kemerovo region.

       Now Russian MP Gennady Onishchenko - who was previously the Kremlin's top health doctor for 18 years - has called for a new approach to dealing with child sex offenders.

       “When a person goes against nature and abuses children - especially in such an unacceptable and unnatural form - he deserves the death penalty,” he said.

       His call comes as some Russian MPs are demanding the country opts out of a Council of Europe commitment suspending the death penalty.

       Until 25 years ago, those on death row were executed with a shot to the back of the head.

       “Preventive measures are also needed,” said Onishchenko.

       “These people need to be identified, and doctors have absolutely clear criteria in this regard.

       “Such people need to be registered. Today we have the technical capability. We must prevent crime, not allow (a child’s) life to be ruined.”

       But he rejected chemical castration for paedophiles, now used in neighbouring Kazakhstan.

       “You castrate him. So what? Castration does not remove sexual cravings. It means that he will do it in other ways.”

       In the latest case, a law enforcement source told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper: “The suspect had been corresponding online with the girl since the summer.

       “He cynically discussed sexual relations with her.

       “We noticed that he invited her to his home 'to have a good time'. The suspect promised the girl to buy a burger, fries, and gifts."

       Police said that he then "threatened and molested" her.

       A recent report said that every other child on social media platform VK had received unwanted messages of an intimate nature.

       "Most often, children do not tell their parents about such messages," said the Russian Interior Ministry.

       "And although the majority of adults realise that they need to control the activity of their children on the internet, only 11 per cent actually do so."
