The young vice president of a Russian bank plunged to her death from her 11th-floor apartment window in Moscow, marking yet another mysterious falling death in the country, according to reports.
Kristina Baikova, the 28-year-old VP of Loko-Bank, plummeted from her window on June 23 and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Baza Telegram channel.
The bank executive was with a 34-year-old male friend named Andrei at the time of her fatal fall, Baza reported.
The man said he was invited by Baikova to her Khodynsky Boulevard apartment for drinks and that she had gone out onto her balcony before she tumbled to the ground below.
Baikova is the latest Russian executive to have died after falling from a building window in what has become a suspicious trend, the
Daily Mail reported.
Dan Rapoport, a well-known Vladimir Putin critic who was exiled from Russia,
was found dead after plunging from his Washington DC luxury apartment building last August in what some had suggested was a suicide — claims his wife refuted.
