The Russian father faces up to eight years in jail and a fine for the “intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm”.

He admitted his guilt in a final court appearance ahead of sentencing this week in Sochi, a Russian city on the Black Sea.

Previously, he had sought to pin the blame on his partner Oxana Mironova, 34, who has already received a non-custodial sentence of two years “correctional labour”.

He had claimed she had an iron deficiency which caused the death of the baby, which weighed just three-and-a-half pounds.

Yet Lyutyi was found to be eating meat – pasta with stew, ignoring his own strictures – as he was held in a Russian detention jail for more than a year since the baby’s death.

The court was earlier informed just how Lyutyi desired to increase the newborn on prana-eating — a diet plan in which individuals do without food and water for a long period of time and ‘feed on the sun’.

He was additionally charged of preventing Mironova from nursing the kid.

“He wanted to experiment on the child, feed him purely with the sun, and then advertise it to others that this is how you can eat,” stated one resource.

Oxana’s mommy, Galina, charged the ominous Lyutyi of running a “sect”.

“I was against my daughter being in this sect,” she stated. “I felt everything, and told her that Maxim was crazy, but she didn’t listen to me.

“Oxana lived there like a guinea pig.

“Each time she became colder to me….

“She was his slave.”

Lyutyi is called a “radical raw food fanatic”.

Another loved one of Mironiva stated: “Oxana told me that she was afraid of him.

“She wanted to leave him many times, but he held her back…

“He wanted to raise [his son into] a man who only eats the sun.”

Oxana’s relative, Olesya Nikolayeva, included: “He forced her not to feed the baby.

“Her boyfriend believed that the sun was feeding the baby.

“Oxana was secretly trying to breastfeed the baby, but she was very afraid of Maxim.

“How is it possible to feed the baby with sunlight? A baby needs his mother’s milk.”

Lyutyi had actually provided the kid in your home, refusing to allow Oxana go to a maternal healthcare facility.

They ultimately chose to take the skeletal kid to physicians however it was far too late and the child passed away on the method.
