A 17-year-old girl, Milena Shevelyova, has been allegedly raped and fed to pigs by the suspect, who has a grudge against her father, who was his boss.
The suspect, 41-year-old Igor Zaika, admitted to attacking his boss’s 17-year-old daughter and is believed to have knocked her unconscious, leaving her to be mauled to death by pigs to cover up his sexual assault.
Milena had been left home alone in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, by her parents and was feeding the pigs when Zaika carried out his assault.
‘I came in, and there’s his daughter, the manager’s daughter … .we got into a fight.’ Zaika told investigators. He did not confess on camera to the sex attack but investigators are understood to have found forensic evidence. He told how he ‘went at her with a stick’ and ‘threw a few punches….to her head.’
After leaving her motionless on the ground in the vodka-fuelled alleged attack, he grabbed her phone and ran home.It was then that she was mauled by the pigs.
‘The man deliberately left the girl to be eaten by pigs, because he knew that the animals would attack the body,’ said a report by news outlet Readovka.
After leaving the pigsty, Zika admitted he destroyed her phone – which he had stolen from her, and the stick he used to club her, burning both to leave no traces.
Speaking about the deceased Milena, a neighbour named Vera said, ‘She was such a kind person. She always helps her parents with everything. A truly compassionate child.
‘I can’t wrap my head around this loss! Just 17 years old— she was such a little doll.’
Zaika has been charged with murdering with special cruelty to hide his violent sexual assault and in a separate charge of a violent sexual attack on an underage girl.
Reports citing law enforcement sources, said, ‘As someone who had lived in the village all his life and worked with livestock, he perfectly understood that the animals could ‘finish off’ the girl lying on the floor.
‘In fact, he was counting on this: the pigs would mutilate the body, and everything would look like an accident.
‘But modern forensics left him no chance—the investigators caught the scoundrel.’
