The Investigative Committee, Russia's top law-enforcement agency, said in a statement that a pair of severed arms and a nonlethal handgun were discovered in a backpack the man was carrying, and that he had been detained as a suspect. The suspect in the case is an academic celebrity. Russian state news agencies identified him as Oleg Sokolov, a professor at St. Petersburg State University. He is currently being treated for hypothermia in hospital. According to his university biography, Sokolov is a specialist in the military history of France and a professor at the university's Department of Modern and Contemporary History. Law enforcement officials told the Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti that the dismembered body of the victim, Anastasia Yeshchenko, a former student of the professor, was found in Sokolov's apartment. Yeshchenko came from the southern Russian city of Krasnodar to study in St. Petersburg and had continued to work with Sokolov as a researcher, according to the state news agency TASS. It added that law enforcement officials were also looking into media reports that Sokolov beat some of his students. Russian state news agencies reported that divers searching the Moika River as part of the investigation had discovered the remains of another person in a bag. TASS said the human remains belonged to another person, presumed to be a man, and that police were working to establish the identity of that person. It is unclear if the discovery is related to the death of Yeshchenko. prevnext +35 -Favorite +Favorite Unblock User's Content Block User's Content Sub/Block Channels whatthe----:UploadUnblockBlockSubUnsubsubs: 34 news:UploadUnblockBlockSubUnsubsubs: 807
