A man murdered his partner with a mallet and then lived with her rotting body in his home for several weeks, with a window open to let out the stench so neighbours would not be suspicious. Yevgeny Andreyev, 36, confessed to killing his girlfriend and hair stylist Daria ‘Dora’ Perevozchikova, 28, on New Year’s Eve after an argument in which she accused him of stealing her foreign currency. After attacking with the mallet, leaving her bleeding heavily, she is said to have begged him to stop and call an ambulance to help.
Instead, the shoe repairman told police in St Petersburg, Russia, he throttled her with a tie until she was dead. Over the next three weeks he used her phone to message her friends and family to say she had not called as she was unwell and kept a window open so her rotting body could not be smelt.
Eventually her frightened father, Vladimir Perevozchikov, 54, called police to report her missing. Fontanka news outlet reported: “For three weeks, Yevgeny lived in an apartment on Mozhayskaya Street with the corpse. “To prevent neighbours from smelling the decomposition, the accused murderer opened the windows. On the night of January 23, he contacted his lawyer friend, who convinced Andreyev to surrender to the police.”.
He told investigators how after he allegedly struck her on the head with the mallet: “She asked me to calm down and call an ambulance, but I finished what I had started, afraid I would be jailed. “Daria screamed she would move out of my house. But that made me angry because I hadn't stolen anything from her.”.
