Ex-Boyfriend Allegedly Confessed to Killing Russian Influencer After She Called Him ‘Sexually Unworthy’
The ex-boyfriend of a Russian Instagram influencer whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase last week has confessed to her murder, saying he snapped after feeling “repeatedly insulted and humiliated” by her disparaging remarks, Russian authorities allege.
Maxim Gareyev, 33, admitted to authorities that he stabbed 24-year-old Ekaterina Karaglanova “at least five times in the neck and chest” last week, BBC reported. He has been charged with murder, but has not yet formally entered a plea in Russian court.
“She constantly put me down and said that I am sexually unworthy and ugly. She lowered my financial opportunities and I couldn’t stand it,” Gareyev said in a video released by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, which was translated from Russian by The Daily Beast. “I stabbed her at least five times with a knife in my neck and chest. I regret it.”
