A multimillionaire Russian telecommunications boss has gone on the run after beating his model girlfriend up so brutally that she was left looking like a 'zombie from a horror film'.
Pavel Ushanov, 33, who is CEO of the Russian communications company Devino Telecom, had been dating model Alexandra Sereda for two years when she told him that she wanted to end their relationship.

I feel sorry for this poor woman. Too bad the terrible coward who committed this atrocity to this woman will likely get off scot-free. 
Thanks for the link.
