A Russian model’s body was discovered in a suitcase more than a year after she went missing.

Gretta Vedler, 23, was killed one month after she called President Vladimir Putin a “psychopath” and predicted his drive to “enhance Russia’s integrity” would end in tears on social media.

Dmitry Korovin, her “jealous” ex-boyfriend, confessed more than a year later to strangling her to death after a money dispute in Moscow unrelated to her political views and analysis of Putin’s mind and motives.

He told interrogators that he spent three nights in a hotel room with her corpse, which he placed in a newly purchased suitcase.

Then he drove her body 300 miles to the Lipetsk region and left it in a car boot for over a year.

He continued to post pictures and messages on the model’s social media to convince friends she was still alive, he told detectives.

A male friend, Evgeniy Foster, a blogger in Kharkiv, the Ukrainian city blitzed by Russian forces, became suspicious and contacted a friend in Moscow to file a missing person case, triggering a search that eventually led to the discovery of her body.

Korovin is seen in a video released by Russia’s Investigative Committee allegedly demonstrating how he killed the model and making a full confession.

Her foresight on Putin in January 2021, a month before she was murdered, is not linked to her death but is chilling in light of subsequent events.

She was concerned about his crackdown on protests and his desire to forge a larger Russia.

“Given the fact that Putin went through a lot of humiliation in childhood, he could not stand up for himself due to his [slight] physical form, it is not surprising that he left after law school and joined the KGB,” she wrote.

“Such people are timid and fearful from childhood, afraid of noise and darkness, strangers, so traits such as caution, restraint, and lack of communication are developed early in their character.

“I can only assume, in my opinion, a clear psychopathy or sociopathy is seen in him.”

She told her followers: “For psychopaths, it is important to constantly experience a sense of fullness and sharpness of life, so they love risk, intense experiences, intense communication, intense activity – an intense and dynamic life.

“Maybe he really wants to enhance the integrity of Russia and sincerely wishes the good for the Russians.

“But can he really do anything?”
