Russian model whose broken and burned body was found naked in the woods may have been killed by husband because she gave him AIDS

Police are probing whether a glamorous Russian model was killed by her photographer husband because she infected him with AIDS.

The naked body of 28-year-old Yulia Loshagina was found in woodland in the Ural mountains in Russia, her neck broken and face disfigured by burning.
Her wounds were so severe that her body could only be identified by DNA.

Her photographer husband, Dmitry Loshagin, 37, was arrested in Yekaterinburg, Russia's fourth largest city.

He is currently being held as police investigate whether he was involved in the gruesome murder following a rooftop party at their £1million loft penthouse.
Other guests who were at the party reported that Loshagina appeared to become distressed.
Detectives said postmortem tests showed that the dead model was HIV positive, according to Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.

'One version is that Dmitry Loshagin became so furious when he learned that his wife infected him with AIDS that he killed her. Police are investigating if this version is correct,' reported the newspaper.
He told a judge at a hearing in Pervouralsk - after which his remand in custody was renewed - that the accusations against him are 'baseless' and he denied any guilt in her murder. 'I loved my wife,' he said.
