A 29-year-old Russian woman was murdered by a one-night stand – after she joked about the size of his penis.
Marina Kovalenko, a mother-of-three, had met her killer at a cafe in her village in Volgograd region in Russia, and he offered to walk her home afterwards.
The unnamed 25-year-old man told police they ended up going to a lock-up garage he rents, where they had sex.
Afterwards the woman laughed at the small size of his penis,’ a police source said.
This made him ‘insane’ and ‘humiliated’, he told officers
He strangled the woman and then took the body to forest and buried her there,’ said the source.
When friends reported the woman missing, police soon traced the man she had met in the cafe in Yerzovka village.
At first he said they had parted at a crossroads and she had gone home alone.
But CCTV cameras proved they both went in to the garage – and that the woman did not leave it.
‘Under the pressure of evidence, the suspect confessed how he killed the woman and also showed where he had buried her body,’ said a spokesman for the Russian Investigative Committee, which probes serious crime.
‘He dug her corpse into the ground on the outskirts of the village, in the forest.’
The woman’s children, two girls and a boy, all believed to be under 11, are being looked after by their father.
The self-confessed man is unmarried and has no previous conviction.
He faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted.
