A Russian woman was found dead on Saturday night on a wayside of highway near the town of Ravenna, Italy.

At first, the Italian police suggested that the woman was a victim of a car accident, but further investigation showed that she was murdered. A 40-year-old citizen of Italy was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of killing the Russian woman, the RIA-Novosti news agency reports.

According to investigators, they suggest that the suspect, who was a fiance of the killed woman, killed his bride after a heated argument. Detectives say that the woman died of a cerebral wound after a blow to the head. The reasons behind the dispute between the Italian and his bride are uncertain.

Similar incidents were reported earlier. One of the grizzliest examples is the 2004 murder case in Australia where a man from Sydney killed his Russian wife by beating her to death with a shoe. The man has got a 16-year prison sentence for his crime.
