Yevgeny Andreyev, 36, admitted to killing his 28-year-old girlfriend, Daria ‘Dora’ Perevozchikova, a hairstylist, on New Year’s Eve after a confrontation where she accused him of stealing her foreign currency.
After attacking with the mallet, leaving her bleeding heavily, she is said to have begged him to stop and call an ambulance to help.
He brutally murdered his girlfriend with a mallet and then lived with her decaying body for several weeks in his home.
Yevgeny used an open window to let out the stench so neighbors wouldn’t suspect anything and alert the cops.
Instead, the shoe repairman told police in St Petersburg, Russia, he throttled her with a tie until she was dead. Over the next three weeks he used her phone to message her friends and family to say she had not called as she was unwell and kept a window open so her rotting body could not be smelt.
Eventually her frightened father, Vladimir Perevozchikov, 54, called police to report her missing. Fontanka news outlet reported: “For three weeks, Yevgeny lived in an apartment on Mozhayskaya Street with the corpse.
“To prevent neighbours from smelling the decomposition, the accused murderer opened the windows. On the night of January 23, he contacted his lawyer friend, who convinced Andreyev to surrender to the police.”
He told investigators how after he allegedly struck her on the head with the mallet: “She asked me to calm down and call an ambulance, but I finished what I had started, afraid I would be jailed.

“Daria screamed she would move out of my house. But that made me angry because I hadn’t stolen anything from her.”
His ex-girlfriend said: “It is hard for me to understand that he was able to do this….he wrote to relatives, lived, slept, ate in the same apartment with the corpse.”
Andreyev was detained by a court until 22 March, as investigations by police into the incident continue.
