A RUSSIAN Youtuber alleged to have killed his pregnant girlfriend during a live stream locked her on a balcony in freezing temperatures “because she smelled”, shocking reports claim.
Stas Reeflay, real name Stanislav Reshetnikov, was arrested after paramedics found Valentina Grigoryeva unresponsive at his home near Moscow on the night of December 2.
Reshetnikov, 30, had reportedly been paid $1,000 (£750) by a viewer to inflict abuse on Grigoryeva, 28, during a broadcast on his Youtube channel.
On the night of her death, he was seen pushing Grigoryeva – who was in the early stages of pregnancy – onto the balcony of his flat wearing only her underwear.
He then told viewers of the stream that Grigoryeva was suffering from an intestinal condition and that he had forced her outside “so that she would not stink”, MediaZone reported.
He was later seen bringing her back inside unconscious and saying: “Valya, are you alive? My bunny, what’s up with you?
“Bunny, come on… tell me something. I’m worrying. Damn… I’m not feel her heartbeat.”
He then told his viewers: “Guys… No pulse… She’s pale. She is not breathing.”
During a previous live stream, Reshetnikov reportedly sprayed Grigoryeva with a pepper spray as she lay screaming on a sofa.
It is not currently clear how long Grigoryeva was on the balcony before she was brought back in.
Reshetnikov continued the broadcast to tens of thousands of followers even after calling for an ambulance.
He at first appeared tearful and remorseful about what had happened, but later said: “What is there to regret? I didn’t really do anything.”
The camera was still live when paramedics pronounced Grigoryeva dead, and reportedly remained so for another two hours.
Reshetnikov was later arrested and is now being investigated for grievous bodily harm resulting in his girlfriend’s death.
Representing him, lawyer Yevgeny Kulagin said: “He repents of what he has done morally, but he does not admit guilt in criminal law, because there are no signs of a crime in his actions.
“Valentina Grigorieva died of a cerebral hemorrhage, and there is no causal relationship between his actions and the death that followed.”
Reshetnikov is to be sent for a psychiatric examination, Ren.tv reports.
