A man suspected of killing and dismembering his girlfriend has been detained by authorities in the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek police said Monday.
"Multiple body parts of a young woman were found in a dumpster on Panfilova Street over the weekend by passers-by who called the police," a police representative said.
According to preliminary information, the suspect, who police said was a drug addict, killed his 24-year-old girlfriend during an argument and proceeded to dismember her body into 28 pieces.
He allegedly tossed her head into the basement before stashing the remaining body parts in the dumpster.
Police noted that pieces of fried meat were found in the suspect's apartment.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
