She adored his music. She wrote him love poems. But the goth band singer she idolized would eventually kill her, cook parts of her body, and eat them with his best friend.
On January 19, 2009, Karina (16YO) visited an apartment in St. Petersburg, Russia, where her crush, goth musician Maxim Glavatskikh (19YO), was staying. A frontman in a local goth band, Maxim had attracted a following of female admirers. Karina was among them, and she had no idea that this visit would be her last.
Days later, bags containing human remains began appearing across the city. As police investigated, they uncovered a horrifying crime involving Maxim, his closest friend Yuri Mozhnov, and a devoted fan who had simply wanted to spend time with someone she admired.
