A female English teacher was killed by her younger lover who had been a student at the school where she taught.
Anastasia Khrolenko, 27, was taken by headmaster’s son Dmitry Rybalchenko, then 19, to a bridge in the Russian Far East where he put a noose through the open window of his car and strangled her. He also struck her over the head with a stone.
Rybalchenko then ran over the mother-of-one’s body with his car to make her death appear like a road accident, alleged prosecutors.
He dropped her corpse from the bridge into the Razdolnaya River.
Her body was only found six months later by a fisherman but a court found him guilty.
Rybalchenko was this week jailed for nine years 11 months for the horrific murder of the teacher at his old school – where his father was headteacher.
The couple had become close when her marriage broke up in 2016 soon after he had left the school, believe police. On the day she died, Anastasia had left her daughter, four, with her ex-husband Alexander Khrolenko, 28, to go on a date with Rybalchenko. When she didn’t return or answer her phone he sounded the alarm.
A massive search failed to find her but Rybalchenko was detained and confessed to murdering the teacher. A shocking video shows him demonstrating on a police officer he used a noose to kill his lover.
After his arrest, he showed police how he had strangled her and revealed he had set her mobile phone on fire. He blamed “personal animosity” for the killing without further explaining his motive.
Investigators said that he had borrowed money from his victim to buy a motorbike, and was struggling to make repayments.
She had pleaded with him to make repayments.
