A U.S. citizen has been detained in Turkey on suspicion of murdering a Russian woman near Moscow, according to Russian state media reports. The U.S. State Department is seeking further details following the discovery of the 30-year-old woman’s body, found with multiple stab wounds in Odintsovo, just outside the capital.
Russian investigators suspect the woman’s partner, who fled to Turkey, was involved in the killing, leading to an international manhunt. Turkish authorities later apprehended the suspect, and discussions are ongoing about extradition to Russia for further investigation. The U.S. State Department reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the safety of U.S. citizens abroad and providing consular support when detained.
