St. Petersburg man stabs ex-girlfriend to death outside women’s crisis center
A man attacked a 27-year-old woman with a knife at the entrance to a women’s support center in St. Petersburg’s Kalininsky district, Fontanka reported.
In St. Petersburg's Kalininsky district, a man brutally killed his ex-girlfriend outside a women's crisis center, according to Fontanka. The 27-year-old was stabbed multiple times and later had her throat slit. Surveillance footage showed her opening the door briefly before the attacker forcibly pulled her back outside. He then traveled about half a kilometer away, called emergency services, and confessed to the act.
The attacker, identified as the woman's former partner, had a history of domestic abuse, including regular beatings and even reporting her missing to the police in September. Despite ongoing efforts to combat domestic violence in Russia, a new law has yet to be passed, leaving victims like this woman at risk.
