A DNA test proved that a girl's body found near Moscow in early April was that of the missing daughter of an executive at Russia's second largest oil producer, investigators said on Thursday.
"The identity was established in a forensic DNA examination. It was that of missing 16-year-old Moscow Region resident Viktoria Teslyuk," said Vladimir Markin, spokesman for the Investigative Committee of the Russian Prosecutor-General's Office.
The body, bearing serious head injuries, was found by the roadside near the town of Taldom, about 100 km north of Moscow when the winter snows melted. Teslyuk was reported missing on March 26.
Viktoria's father, Robert Teslyuk, is general director of the Arman oil producing company, a joint venture between Lukoil, Shell and Sinopec that is based in Kazakhstan.
