Viktoria Povesma

Viktoria Povesma, a 20-year-old student was allegedly beheaded by a suspected s*x attacker after a night out with friends.

According to The Sun UK, Viktoria Povesma’s severed head was found dumped in a plastic bag near a pond in Tomsk, Siberia.

She had gone missing after a night out with friends in the city.

Police today detained a 29-year-old man with “a history of s*x attacks” who has confessed to killing her, say reports citing law enforcement officials.

Investigators later found her body parts during a search for remains relating to a suspected s*x attack and murder.

Blonde with green eyes, Viktoria was a student of Tomsk State University of Architecture and Construction.



A search had been underway for the student, who was wearing jeans and a black T-shirt when she vanished after a night out with friends on Saturday.

Her parents reported her missing on Sunday after she failed to return home and did not attend a reunion of school friends she had been looking forward to.

She was last seen at a park called Lagerny Garden just over a mile from the Siberian Botanical Garden where her severed head was found.

A statement from the regional branch of the Russian Investigative Committee said Viktoria “went for a walk and did not come back”, reported The Siberian Times.

“On Sunday her parents reported her missing and later on July 31 by the bank of a pond in the botanical garden a severed head was found.”

Russians expressed horror today at Viktoria’s brutal killing.

“This girl is almost a child – these beasts,” said one on social media.

Others expressed disgust at the scale of s*x attacks and murders.
“She was such a beautiful and clever girl with her life in front of her – who could do this to her?” asked one commenter.
