A 22-year-old Russian woman named Kristina Medvedeva was beheaded on her very first date with a man she met online. Kristina, a shop assistant in the Russian city of Ekaterinburg, was seeking for love on the internet and reportedly described her relationship status as ‘actively searching’ on one social media site.
Russian Media say she was known to be active on at least one dating website. She shared a flat with a friend, and had gone on a first date with a stranger on 24 July, the day she was murdered.
