A man from Leningradsky District has been accused of murdering his wife and desecrating her body. The local investigative department has now finished its inquiry into the case. Officials have sent the case file to court for further action. On 11 April, the suspect allegedly killed his wife by repeatedly striking her in the head with a kitchen frying pan.
