“The girl left the college dormitory on May 16, and no one has seen her since then. She was found only on May 21 - dead. Law enforcement officers also managed to find and detain a murder suspect: he turned out to be a taxi driver who gave the girl a lift. According to unofficial information, he beat and then strangled his victim, after which he took the body outside the city, covered it with branches and other flammable material and tried to burn it,” the report says.
As the publication notes, the police have not yet commented on the circumstances of the incident, in particular, they have not said anything about the motives of the killer, but they report that they are already checking the detainee for involvement in other similar crimes.
“Unfortunately, our worst fears about the missing girl have been confirmed, the perpetrator has been detained, and investigations are currently underway. I sympathize with the family and friends,” Dmitry Golovin, chief of police of the Odessa region, wrote on his Facebook.
