A Russian model who called Vladimir Putin a “psychopath” has been found dead and stuffed inside a suitcase, it has been reported.
Gretta Vedler went missing a year ago after her anti-Putin social media rant, in which the 23-year-old said the Russian President’s drive to “enhance the integrity of Russia” would end in tears. The two events do not appear to be connected, the New York Post reports.
Her “jealous” ex-boyfriend, Dmitry Korovin, has now confessed to strangling her to death after an argument over money in Moscow that was unrelated to Vedler’s political views.
The 23-year-old told police that he slept in a hotel room for three nights with her corpse – which he put inside a newly-bought suitcase – before driving her nearly 500km to the Lipetsk region south of Moscow, and abandoning the body in the boot of a car.
He allegedly demonstrated, in a video from Russia’s Investigative Committee, how he killed the model, making a full confession.
Korovin continued to post to Vedler’s social media, to make it look like she was still alive, he told detectives.
