What!? Having sex with the corpse?
A morgue technician has been fired after tests showed he had sex with the dead body of a murdered reality star.
Oksana Aplekaeva, a former star of Russia's top reality show Dom-2, was murdered in 2008 and her corpse was discovered by a lorry driver on the side of a motorway.
The murderer has yet been found but new information led police to exhume the corpse for more forensic tests. Her body was found sexually violated.
DNA tests indicated a 37-year-old forensic morgue technician named Alexander, who worked for the morgue for 12 years, was the offender. He has been forced to resign.
"I could not argue against science. I have not been able to find a job for three months," he said. He also claims his wife left him and changed the phone number.
Police said Alexander was not in relation to Aplekaeva's murder and Russian media have reported that Alexander will not face any changes for his deed since there is no law in Russian to deal with the incident.
Two people were killed in Ukrainian drone strikes in Russian border regions, local officials said Sunday, ahead of peace talks to end the nearly 4-year-old war in Paris this week.
Belgorod regional Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said one person died and two others, including a young child, were wounded when a Ukrainian drone struck a car.
Another person was killed in a drone strike on a village in the Kursk region, regional Gov. Alexander Khinshtein said Sunday.
In Ukraine, three people were wounded in the Kharkiv region in drone strikes overnight into Sunday, the country’s State Emergency Service said.
Meanwhile, the death toll from a Russian missile attack on the city of Kharkiv on Friday increased to five when body parts were found under the rubble of a building, Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said Sunday.
The latest attacks came after national security advisers from Europe and other allies visited Kyiv on Saturday to discuss security guarantees and economic support, as a U.S.-led diplomatic push to end the war in Ukraine intensifies.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, preparing to travel to Paris for a meeting with partners, said Saturday that work on the peace proposals could now accelerate as Ukraine has shared all documents under discussion with the 18 national security advisers, including those on security guarantees.
He said representatives from Ukraine’s General Staff and military sector would meet on Monday in Paris, followed by a meeting Tuesday of European leaders, where he said he hoped documents on security guarantees would be finalized. He said there also would be meetings with U.S. representatives in Paris.
