Tragic incident in Novosibirsk ends in the death of a 17-year-old
Preliminary details emerged about the fatal stabbing of a teenage girl in Novosibirsk. An acquaintance of the victim, referred to here as A, reported that the deceased’s 27-year-old boyfriend already had a criminal history.
According to accounts, Roman, who is described as the couple’s former partner, previously stabbed his ex-girlfriend three years ago. He was sentenced to three years in prison for assault related to that incident.
Online acquaintances of the couple have claimed that the violence continued during their relationship, with reports indicating that Roman allegedly assaulted A while they were together. About two months prior to the homicide, A allegedly decided to end the relationship, citing concerns about the suffocating jealousy displayed by her partner toward other men.
In the days leading up to the tragedy, friends of the deceased say Roman stated that A would be either his or no one, a sentiment described as controlling and dangerous. The relationship history thus appears to be marked by violence and coercion prior to the final act.
A separate and disturbing element of this case unfolded at a road junction in Novosibirsk, where witnesses saw a brutal attack on a 17-year-old girl. The incident was captured on a traffic camera and later aired by the Mash Telegram channel. The assailant targeted the minor in the Nizhnyaya Eltsovka micro-region, delivering at least 13 stab wounds in view of passing drivers before fleeing the scene. Emergency medical responders arrived too late to save the victim, who died before aid could reach her.
Authorities are pursuing leads to determine the full sequence of events and potential connections between the two high-profile attacks. Investigators will focus on the victim’s relationships, the history of threats or violence, and any enabling factors that may have contributed to the alleged perpetrator’s conduct. As the case develops, officials urge anyone with relevant information to come forward to assist the inquiry.
The two incidents have prompted discussions about the risks faced by young people in intimate relationships and the importance of early intervention when controlling or violent behavior is suspected. Community members are reminded to seek help if they or someone they know feels threatened or unsafe, and to report violence to local authorities promptly. The investigation continues as law enforcement reviews digital communications, witnesses, and physical evidence to establish accountability for these grave acts.
