According to reports, a Russian model's body was found in a suitcase over a year after she had gone missing.Gretta Vedler, 23, had criticised President Putin calling him a "psychopath". Her boyfriend reportedly admitted to the murder.Vedler's boyfriend Korovin reportedly strangled her to death and kept her in a hotel room before putting the body in a suitcase and then transferred it in a car. Korovin was caught after a blogger suspected something was wrong and asked someone in Moscow to file a report with the police. Vedler's postings on Putin in January 2021 do not link the Russian president to her death, however, it comes as a chilling reminder of how Putin was set to react a year later.Marina Ovsyannikova who works for Channel One held out her message which read: "NO WAR. Stop the war. Don't believe propaganda. They are lying to you here." The Kremlin denounced the protests as "hooliganism" even as a court let off Ovsyannikova with a $280 fine. Ovsyannikova later said that she was interrogated for over 14 hours by authorities and was provided no judicial assistance.In a video message before her protests on state TV, Ovsyannikova said: "The next 10 generations of our descendants will not wash away the shame of this fratricidal war" clearly criticising the Russian president for the Ukraine war.
