CHEBOKSARY, October 17 (RIA Novosti) – Investigators in the Russian republic of Chuvashia said Thursday that they have charged three self-confessed prostitutes with strangling an acquaintance to death with her own bra.
The women accused the victim, who was 22 years old at the time of her death in February, of stealing money from one of them, investigators said.
Investigators say the suspects cut off a lock of the victim’s hair and slashed her clothes to shreds with a kitchen knife during their attack on her in a rented apartment in the provincial capital, Cheboksary.
The victim was then taken outside dressed in only her underwear, in temperatures of minus 6 degrees Celsius (21 degrees Fahrenheit), to take a taxi to a forest.
Investigators say the attackers used brass knuckles to beat the woman and then took a taxi to another remote location.
“There they beat her up again and then strangled her with the shoulder straps of her own bra,” investigators said in a statement.
The woman was buried in the snow before the suspects fled.
Her body was found two months later as the snow thawed.
The suspects face up to 20 years in prison if found guilty.
