The body of a Ukrainian interpreter has been found in handcuffs and a plastic bag over her head, as her pals suspect she was murdered.<\/p>\n

Kristina Novitskaya, 30, was found dead in her home in Bodrum, Turkey, with reports suggesting it was suicide.<\/p>\n

However, friends of the "life-loving" and "cheerful" woman claim the police could be covering up for "someone important".<\/p>\n

Pals of Kristina also described her as "secretive" about her private life.<\/p>\n

"We do not believe that she committed suicide," a friend told Obozrevatel media in Kyiv.<\/p>\n

Reports say Turkish police believe she had become depressed at a lack of work due to the pandemic, yet the precise cause of death has not been revealed.<\/p>\n

After her family, friends and neighbours could not reach her, they alerted police. Her body was found in a sitting position on a chair in the middle of the room.<\/p>\n

She was handcuffed, and a plastic bag was on her head, say reports. Ropes, charcoal, and a scarf were also found at the scene but no cause of death has been announced so far, say reports.<\/p>\n

The corpse has been sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for an autopsy. The door was locked from inside, and a key was inside the keyhole, say reports citing Turkish police.<\/p>\n
