Woman's body found in suitcase at Russia playground
Police in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg have launched a murder investigation after the body of an elderly woman was found stuffed inside a suitcase at a local playground, officials said.
A spokesperson for Russia's Investigative Committee said the suitcase was discovered on early Thursday morning at a playground along a street in northeast St. Petersburg. "The suitcase contained the body of an unidentified elderly woman with no visible signs of a violent death," the spokesperson said.
Investigators believe the victim was about 70 years old, but no documents have been found inside the suitcase which could help identify the woman. It was not immediately known how long the suitcase had been at the playground, when the woman may have died, or what was the cause of death.
Thursday's discovery comes just days after a street cleaner found a suitcase containing a woman's body near a garbage container in northern Moscow. The woman had been decapitated, her hands tied behind her back, and police later arrested the victim's friend on suspicion of committing the murder.

The 8 types of women you should never date (Never!) by Jide Taiwo
It certainly feels like male-bashing season. Every other day there’s a new blog post, or article, or snide tweet admonishing women not to date this type of guy or why that type of guy is wrong for them. The way these women carry on, one would think all men were either a cold or calculating sociopath who only wants to jump into bed with every woman; or beer guzzling, unambitious zombies, devoted only to watching football.
But you see, that is not the case. Women happen to have more baggage than men (pun intended) and men have the gift of spotting baggage-carriers from afar off, as well as the skill to avoid them.
Well, most men… If you’re one of the hapless souls who do not, here are the 8 types of women that no young Nigerian man should date. At all.
