A builder has been accused of beating and strangling a 27-year-old hairdresser to death and then dumping her body in rubbish bags at her apartment in Russia.
Almaz Ibraev, 41, was arrested by police after the body of 27-year-old Yuliana was discovered in her new apartment in Saint Petersburg on November 23.
His body was found in a sack of rubble along with construction debris by police after they responded to a missing persons report.
While the reason is still unknown, some reports have suggested that Ibraev feared that he “would not get paid for his shoddy work”.
Yuliana had traveled to the apartment on the day of her death to check on the progress of the remodeling.
She was last seen getting into the lift on the apartment block’s CCTV camera. She can also be seen her alleged killer exiting the elevator in the video.
Ibraev is said to have beaten the victim senseless before strangling her to death.
Yuliana, 27, (pictured) was found in a sack of rubble along with construction debris by police after they responded to a missing persons report.
Yuliana had traveled to the apartment on the day of her death to check on the progress of the refurbishment and was last seen getting into the elevator on CCTV footage.
When police found her remains wrapped in plastic, there were signs of bruising and what appeared to be a wire mark on her neck, according to local reports.
When discovered two days after she went missing, police immediately suspected the 41-year-old bricklayer, who had been working on the flat and had fled after Yuliana disappeared.
Police put Ibraev on a wanted list and began an extensive search of the city, finally locating him outside a shelter on November 27.
When police found Yuliana’s remains (pictured left and right) wrapped in plastic, there were signs of bruising and what appeared to be a wire mark on her neck, according to local reports.
Authorities in St. Petersburg are now investigating a possible motive for the attack.
A media source claimed that Yuliana was not happy with Ibraev’s work and that the builder suspected that he would not be paid, but this theory has not been confirmed by officials.
The victim’s older sister paid tribute to Yuliana on social media, writing: “Sister, you are forever in my heart.”
