A duffel bag containing a man's body was discovered in a residential area of southeastern Moscow, Interfax reported Monday, citing a law enforcement source.
The grisly finding was made Sunday night behind garages located at 22 Trofimova Ulitsa, not far from the Kozhukovskaya metro station.
The man is believed to have died a week ago, Interfax said. His body, which was wrapped in fabric and adhesive tape, did not bear signs of a violent death, according to the report.
An investigation is under way, the news agency reported. (MT)
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.
