A United States citizen has been detained in Turkey on suspicion of murdering a Russian woman in the Moscow region, Russian state media reported Friday.
The US State Department was “seeking additional information,” a spokesperson said, after Russian state media TASS reported the suspect was American, citing law enforcement sources.
The body of a 30-year-old woman was found with multiple stab wounds on the staircase of an apartment building on Thursday in Odintsovo, a city of the outskirts of the capital, according to the Russian Investigative Committee for the Moscow region.
A criminal case was opened following the incident.
Investigators believe “the victim’s partner, who managed to escape” to Turkey, was involved in the woman’s death, and said the suspect had been put on an “international wanted list.”
