Gretta Vedler: Russian model who once called Putin a PSYCHOPATH found dead in a suitcase
The body of a Russian model was found stashed in a suitcase on Tuesday, March 15 — after she was declared missing more than a year ago. One month prior to her death, the model, identified as Gretta Vedler, had branded Vladimir Putin a ‘pyschopath’ on social media. In her post, Vedler had also predicted that Putin's drive to "enhance the integrity of Russia" would end in tears.
However, Vedler's murder is not related to her political views and analysis of Putin's mind and motives, investigators said. Her 'jealous' ex-boyfriend Dmitry Korovin, 23, confessed to strangling her to death after a row over money in Moscow.

Korovin told interrogators that he slept in a hotel room for three nights with her corpse which he later put in a newly-bought suitcase. He then drove her body 300 kilometers to the Lipetsk area, where he left it for more than a year in the boot of a vehicle. Chillingly, he kept posting pictures and messages on the model's Instagram account, to make her friends and family believe that she was still alive, he told detectives.
However, Evgeniy Foster, Vedler's close friend and blogger in Kharkiv, Ukraine, got suspicious and contacted a friend in Moscow and urged them to register a missing person report. This trigerred a search that eventually led to the discovery of her body. Vedler's body had been in the suitcase for more than a year. Korovin's confession video was released by Russia's Investigative Committee. In the video, Korovin also demonstrates how he killed the model.

Russian model Gretta Vedler who branded Putin a ‘psychopath’ found dead in suitcase a year after going missing as lover Dmitry Korovin ‘confesses’
In January 2021, a month before she was killed, Vedler had expressed concern over Putin's crackdown on protests in 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.
"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? I think you know the answer to this question yourself," she had posted.
