Russian police have said that her body was found in a suitcase in her rented Moscow flat, with her throat slit and several knife wounds.
Her family had reported the Instagram influencer, who had more than 85,000 followers, as missing after being unable to contact her, and her landlord gave them access to the flat where the discovery was made.
Her ex-boyfriend is suspected to have killed out of jealousy and is being investigated by the police. The influencer was in a new relationship and had announced her birthday plans abroad with him. The suspect was sighted near her flat on CCTV during the days of her disappearance.
