According to reports, a Russian model's body was found in a suitcase over a year after she had gone missing.

Gretta Vedler, 23, had criticised President Putin calling him&nbsp;a "psychopath". Her boyfriend reportedly admitted to the murder.

Vedler had said that Putin showed "clear psychopathy or sociopathy" while criticising the ex-KGB official. In a chilling message, she had said: "Maybe he really wants to enhance the integrity of Russia and sincerely wishes the good for the Russians. But can he really do anything?"
