In Moscow, investigators report that a woman who had come to the city for a vacation was found dead inside a rented apartment. The Moscow City SU SK press service confirmed that the victim’s partner is a person of interest in the case.

Initial information indicates that on January 3, 2023, authorities discovered the body of a 34-year-old woman in an apartment on Polina Osipenko Street. The preliminary assessment attributes her death to a knife wound, with reports mentioning at least 30 stab injuries. The circumstances surrounding the attack are being thoroughly examined by investigators, who are pursuing all possible leads to understand what happened and why.

Law enforcement detained the victim’s 33-year-old partner, who is suspected of homicide. A criminal case has been opened under Part 1 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which covers murder. Investigators are carefully sorting through the sequence of events, gathering evidence, and interviewing witnesses to reconstruct the incident and determine accountability.

Local news outlet Aspect reported via its Telegram channel that the couple, who live in Vologda, traveled to Moscow for a short vacation. On the afternoon of January 3, they reportedly conducted a joint photo session before returning to a rented apartment. Neighbors later reported hearing cries for help, prompting them to call the police. Officers forced entry and discovered the victim’s body at the scene. The investigation continues to establish the exact timeline and factors involved in the tragedy.

Background details indicate that the victim previously resided in Khabarovsk. The report notes that a conflict arising from jealousy allegedly culminated in the alleged act by the former partner, who was later found on an upper floor following the incident. Investigators are pursuing this line of inquiry, along with other potential motives, to determine the full scope of the case and to deliver a clear account of events. The authorities emphasize that all factual aspects are under careful review and will be disclosed as the inquiry progresses.
