An Instagram influencer in Russia who has collective tens of thousands of followers has been exposed dead, packed in a suitcase in her own Moscow apartment days after uploading vacation photos from an expedition to the Greek island of Corfu.
Ekaterina Karaglanova’s body was found Friday after family members reached out to her landlord after not hearing from the 24-year-old in some days.
When the landlord unlocked the front door of the apartment for the 24-year-old’s parents, a big suitcase with Karaglanova’s legs sticking out was positioned in the entry. The 24-year-old was also apparently wearing only lace garters and had stab injuries on her cheek and chest areas.
The 24-year-old lived in an apartment on Pyryena Street in Moscow for numerous years, where she joined medical school before recently graduating in addition to running a personal travel blog, Russian daily Moskovsky Komsomolets described.
Previous month she posted on Instagram the day she received her diploma, writing “We did it! These 6 years have not been for us an easy walk, but a real race for survival with obstacles.”
Russian police told the news channel they are considering that jealousy was a possible motive for the killing after the 24-year-old newly started a new relationship with a “much older” man. Karaglanova had a holiday planned to The Netherlands with her new boyfriend to celebrate her birthday on July 30, MK stated.
Authorities also distinguished that there were no signs of struggle or a weapon discovered in the apartment.
In her final post on July 22, she penned about how while she likes to travel “often” she didn’t like to spend any more than three to five days in a site.
“But the impressions of such short trips remain the brightest,” she wrote. “I remember in detail every trip, all beautiful places, funny stories.”
In addition to her last trip, the 24-old would regularly share her travels to Europe and the Middle East.
At the time of her death, the 24-year-old had 84,000 followers.
