The groom, 26-year-old Alexander Voronin, who is the son of a former senior KGB officer, assaulted his 26-year-old bride, Marina Pankratova, and left her on the bed with horrific wounds, according to the British newspaper, “Daily Star”.
Bride Pankratova was found half-naked following the three-hour attack on Voronin. According to court evidence in Moscow, the bride’s face was severely deformed and the skull fractured due to something unknown, possibly in the leg of a chair or the head of a sharp axe.
