Goa 'Serial Killer' Terror: 15 Murders, Russian Women Lured by Love and Greed

  • Alexei Leonov, a Russian national, has been apprehended in Goa for the brutal murders of two Russian women in Morjim and Harmal.
  • During interrogation, Leonov sensationally claimed to have 'given salvation' to a total of 15 women, committing murders in both Goa and Himachal Pradesh.
  • Police investigation suggests Leonov lured Russian women into a love trap, extorted money, and then murdered them in a fit of rage if he suspected them of interacting with others.
  • He confessed to the murders of 35-year-old Elena in Bamanbhati-Harmal and 37-year-old Elena Vaniva in Morjim.
  • Police are facing challenges due to Leonov's changing statements and are coordinating with Himachal Pradesh police to verify his claims of 15 murders, as only two bodies have been recovered so far.

Why It Matters: A suspected Russian serial killer in Goa claimed 15 murders, raising concerns about tourist safety.
