The Wagner PMC fighter who killed his girlfriend forgot why he cut off her ear

The deceased herself buried her husband two years ago

A former recruiter for the private military company Wagner brutally killed his partner on Sunday morning in the north-east of the capital. The criminal stabbed her more than 15 times and cut off her ear.

As MK learned, the tragedy occurred in one of the apartments of the building on Konenkova Street. In the morning, a 51-year-old man called the police and said that he had killed his girlfriend. The information was confirmed — the disfigured corpse of a woman was indeed found in the apartment. The roommate could only remember that he drank several bottles of vodka before taking up the knife. He never gave a motive for the murder, nor could he explain why he needed to cut off his ear.

It turned out that the deceased, a 41-year-old single mother, buried her husband two years ago, after which her future executioner appeared on the horizon. The woman did not lead a very decent lifestyle; the guardianship authorities even visited her (her daughter is now 15 years old). The new gentleman, apparently, interested the Muscovite with his biography. He was previously convicted of causing grievous bodily harm resulting in death. In October 2022, the man was rehabilitated and, as part of the Wagner PMC, went to the special military operation zone, where he served for six months. There he distinguished himself, even received a medal “For Courage,” which he was very proud of, posting corresponding photographs on social networks. Having already returned to Moscow, the man again received a conviction for intentional damage to property and spent several months in a pre-trial detention center. His family life was also very turbulent: from time to time, his girlfriend wrote statements to the police against his partner, backing up the complaints with evidence — bruises on his face. However, she later withdrew the claim, again at the request of a friend.
