Gretta Vedler, 23, was murdered following an anti-Putin social media rant where she questioned “can he really do anything?”.
Despite the timing of her January 2021 posts and later disappearance the two are not thought to be linked.
Vedler’s ex-boyfriend Dmitry Korovin, 23, has now confessed to strangling her to death before driving her 300 miles to the Lipetsk region and abandoning the body in the boot of a car.
According to media reports, the murder took place over money and not Vladimir Putin ..
