19-year-old Chechek Yumbuu was killed April, 8, but the murder became known to media only today. She graduated from the Tuvan State Lyceum with distinction and was happy to enter last year one of the most prestigeous Moscow institutes - Moscow Linguistic University (ex-Institure for Foreign Languages). Her distorted body as her sister reported was found by militia in the Mariinski park district of Moscow. It did not seem like a robbery - her mobile phone and other valuable things were found nearby. One of her acquiantances reported her saying last words over the mobile: 'I got into a trouble...'

The investigation holds as one of the versions an ethnically motivated crime, which are now on the rise in Russia.
