Macabre footage showed the scene, as someone in the clip claimed "all" the woman's organs removed.

They sewed her mouth shut, cut out all her organs, cut off her breasts, and left her there. We've got forensic experts working on it now." The victim had reportedly been drinking with a friend when she mentioned her soldier son had died in Vladimir Putin 's war against Ukraine. A local Russian site said a fight then broke out and the man allegedly tied the woman up before the fatal attack. The woman died at the scene from her horrific injuries. The Russian Investigative Committee said: "Two days later, after waiting until it got dark outside, the suspect decided to get rid of the mutilated body of the deceased to hide traces of the crime. "He dragged the body along the street to a secluded place to hide it, but his actions were noticed by people passing by, as a result of which he abandoned the body and escaped. After some time, the suspect was detained in the village by police officers, the crime weapon was seized at his place of residence." The identities of the suspect and victim have not been revealed but the man was pictured in court on Friday. He was remanded in custody for two months pending further investigations. This comes as the world waits for a face-to-face meeting between Donald Trump and Putin in another attempt to broker a ceasefire in Ukraine. The evil dictator has been largely isolated by Western powers since the 2022 invasion but Trump has repeatedly called Putin on the phone and has sent his special envoy to Moscow. Yuri Ushakov, the Russian leader's foreign policy adviser, said: "The American side has suggested, and we have agreed in principle, to hold a high-level bilateral meeting, that is, a meeting between presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump." Ushakov confirmed the meeting it due to happen but has not confirmed where it could take place.

MOSCOW — Russian authorities have launched a criminal investigation into possible violations of air safety regulations following the fatal crash of an An-24 passenger aircraft in the remote Amur region on Thursday, which claimed the lives of all those on board.

Passenger plane crashes in Russia's Far East, killing all 48 people on board, officials say
In this photo taken from video released by Russian Investigative Committee on Thursday, July 24, 2025, a view of the place of the crashed Russian An-24 passenger plane of the Siberia-based Angara Airlines while carrying 49 passengers in 15 kilometers (9 miles) south of Tynda, Far Eastern Amur region of Russia. (Russian Investigative Committee via AP) A passenger plane crashed Thursday in Russia's Far East, killing all 48 passengers and crew on board, officials said. The Angara Airlines flight disappeared from radar, and searchers later found the burning wreckage of the plane on a hillside south of its planned destination in Tynda, more than 7,000 kilometers (4,350 miles) east of Moscow, Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry said. Regional Gov. Vasily Orlov said in a statement that all 48 people aboard were dead, and announced three days of mourning in the Amur region over what he called a 'terrible tragedy.' It wasn't immediately clear what caused the crash. Russia's Interfax news agency said there were adverse weather conditions at the time of the crash, citing unnamed sources in the emergency services. Several Russian news outlets also reported that the aircraft was almost 50 years old, citing data taken from the plane's tail number. The Soviet-designed twin turbo prop plane had initially departed from Khabarovsk before making its way to Blagoveshchensk on the Russian-Chinese border and onwards to Tynda. Images of the reported crash site circulated by Russian state media show debris scattered among dense forest, surrounded by plumes of smoke. Orlov said rescuers had struggled to reach the site due to its remote location, 15 kilometers (9 miles) south of Tynda. An earlier statement from the governor said that 49 people had been onboard the flight, but that number later was updated to 48. The reason for the discrepancy was not immediately clear. The transport prosecutor's office in the Far East said in an online statement that the plane was attempting to land for a second time when it lost contact with air traffic control and disappeared from radars. The authorities launched a probe on the charge of flight safety violations that resulted in multiple deaths, a standard procedure in aviation accidents. Aviation incidents have been frequent in Russia, especially in recent years as international sanctions have squeezed the country's aviation sector. © Copyright 2025 The Associated Press.
