Four male teens, including two minors, have been detained in southern Siberia on suspicion of raping a 12-year-old girl and leaving her naked to die in the snow, local investigators said.
The investigators said the girl left home on Monday evening, met her friends and had some beer outside. The four suspects, people she was acquainted with, approached and raped her, and then left her in the woods. Forensic experts said the girl had died of exposure.
Passersby found her body the next day. “The position of the body and lack of clothes showed that she had been raped,” investigators said in the news release.
