The bodies of two young women were found on the property of an arrested resident of the Bogorodsky district of the Moscow region, Olga Vradiy, senior assistant to the head of the regional directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia, reported.
“After inspecting the man's property, forensic experts using search equipment found the body of one of the young women in a compost pit at a depth of two meters, and then the body of the other in a well“, she explained.
Another victim of the serial killer was identified during the investigation. There are five victims in the case, including the accused's wife and the two young women found dead. The collection and consolidation of evidence continues, and a series of forensic examinations have been ordered.
In November, Vradiy reported the arrest of a resident of the Moscow region on suspicion of murder, rape, and coercion to use drugs. According to investigators, a young woman was admitted to a hospital in the Volgograd region, reporting that she had run away from the home of a man who had raped her and forced her to take drugs. The accused found his victims mainly through online ads, supposedly looking for a nanny for his child. The women would come to his home, stay there, and then become victims. Thus, two women disappeared without a trace.
During interrogation, the man denied any involvement in their disappearance.
In November, the mother of a 19-year-old girl from Korolev and the sister of a 25-year-old woman from Moscow reported their disappearance to law enforcement agencies. The last places of residence of both women were at the man's home.
Law enforcement previously reported that the defendant had a previous conviction for theft and robbery. According to court records, he was arrested on November 10.
