The Russian pensioner dubbed 'Granny Ripper' once threatened to slice up her old classmate and throw her body parts 'to the dogs' and hinted that she murdered her mother-in-law, it was revealed today.

Anna Batalina, 67, a former school friend of alleged serial killer Tamara Samsonova, 68, revealed how she exploded into a mad rage simply because she missed a meeting with her a few years ago.

Batalina told how Samsonova, who is suspected of killing a dozen people, 'howled' down the phone: 'I'll kill you. I'll cut you to pieces. I will throw the pieces out for the dogs. Don't make me angry.'

The so-called Granny Ripper openly confessed to Batalina that her neighbours suspected her of killing her husband's mother.

Police are currently checking if she murdered her husband, who suddenly disappeared a decade ago, but the possibility that her mother-in-law was a victim was not previously known.

This latest shocking disclosure comes as police are digging up Samsonova's neighbourhood in St Petersburg to search for evidence of her victims.

Reports in Russia suggest she may have slain 12 in total and wrote the gruesome details of her killings in a macabre diary, which she penned in Russian, German and English.

In an another phone call with Batalina, who attended school with Samsonova in the Siberian town of Uzhur, Samsonova boasted about writing such a diary and forecast that she would one day be 'famous around the world'.

'I will be popular,' she said, adding she would cause a 'sensation' and hoped to pen a book based on her diary.

Notorious: A former classmate said Samsonova told her about the diary a few years ago, and claimed it would make her 'famous around the world'

Horrifying: Samsonova also openly confessed to Batalina (pictured) that her neighbours suspected her of killing her husband's mother.

One extract of her diary is reported to read: 'I killed my tenant Volodya, cut him to pieces in the bathroom with a knife, put the pieces of his body in plastic bags and threw them away in the different parts of Frunzensky district.'

Batalina, who revealed a picture of the two posing for a Communist-era picture outside the Lenin Mausoleum in Moscow's Red Square, said: 'I wanted to go and see her but something stopped me, and I didn't in the end.

'Her neighbours were after her because they thought she had killed her mother-in-law.'

Samsonova has been charged with one murder after confessing to killing her friend Valentina Ulanova, 79, who she drugged and hacked to pieces while she was still alive.

Samsonova admitted boiling Mrs Ulanova's severed head and hands, and was caught by security camera carrying her body parts out of her St Petersburg apartment block in a saucepan.

This victim's limbs were found, but not her head and hands. Local dogs sniffed the remains of Mrs Ulanova on July 26, leading to a major police operation.
