An ex-boyfriend of an Instagram influencer in Russia discovered dead and stuffed in a suitcase in her own Moscow apartment last week has confessed to her murder, according to officials.

Ekaterina Karaglanova's body was discovered Friday in her Moscow apartment after family members contacted her landlord after not hearing from the 24-year-old in several days.

In a video released by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Russia's top law enforcement body, Maxim Gareyev confessed to stabbing Karaglanova "at least five times"

“She repeatedly insulted me, humiliated my sexual dignity,” Gareyev said in the video posted to YouTube. “Minimized financial opportunities. And I could not stand it. I stabbed her at least five times with a knife in my neck and chest. I regret it. I will cooperate with the investigation."

After killing the 24-year-old, Gareyev said he stripped her and placed her naked body in the suitcase, according to Russian daily Moskovsky Komsomolets.

The slaying allegedly happened on June 22, which was the last time that Karaglanova's family heard from the 24-year-old. Four days later, her landlord opened the front door of the apartment for the 24-year-old's parents where a large suitcase with Karaglanova's legs sticking out was located in the hallway.

Investigators had earlier said the ex-boyfriend was seen on surveillance video arriving at the apartment and then leaving several hours later a few days before family noticed she was missing.
