A 20-year-old Russian man identified as Oleg Myshadaev, has admitted to police that he killed his girlfriend with a knife, hammer and billiard cue.

Myshadaev had previously been spared jail after Alexandra Shaposhnikova, 20, begged a judge not to send him to prison for biting off her nose.

However, one year on, he went into a vodka-fuelled rage and Alexandra was found dead in the flat where they lived in Saransk, Russia.
