A 53‑year‑old woman killed her 31‑year‑old lover: burned the body and scattered the ashes in the garden
Her 18‑year‑old son helped the woman cover up the evidence.
A 53‑year‑old woman is accused of murdering her 31‑year‑old partner. According to the Prosecutor's Office of the Gomel Region, on May 23, the woman and the victim were visiting friends. After returning home, an argument broke out between them out of jealousy.
According to the charges, the woman stabbed the man in the chest with a sharp cutting object that has not been identified by investigators. He died at the scene.
Afterward, the woman, together with her 18‑year‑old son, transported the body by car and buried it on the property of a private house. But, fearing that it would be discovered, the next morning they decided to dispose of the body in another way.
Together with her son, they dug up the man and burned him. They scattered the ashes across the garden and dug over the soil.
The man's disappearance was reported to the police by his employer.
The woman is in custody, and her murder case has been referred to court. A separate investigation is being conducted into the son — he is suspected of concealing the evidence of an especially grave crime.
