Kristina Prikhodko, pictured, was missing for two days before her body was discovered in a forest close to Siberia's largest city

A 19-year-old Russian student has been found strangled to death with her body wrapped in clingfilm after responding to an advertisement for a 'governess' with a 'model appearance'.

Kristina Prikhodko was missing for two days before her body was discovered in a forest close to Siberia's largest city.

The student had been sexually attacked before being strangled to death, say police, who have arrested two men, both aged 28, on suspicion of murder.

They warned about men using advertisements to lure young women for sex under false pretences.

It is known that Kristina had posted revealing pictures of herself and was this year registered on a site where women can meet 'sugar daddies'.

Her naked body was wrapped in clingfilm and put inside a zip-up bag which was found on snow-covered ground dumped close to a reservoir on the River Ob near Novosibirsk city.

Two men caught driving a car in which the body was transported were later arrested on suspicion of murder.

The men, who have not been named, were today being quizzed over the alleged crimes.

The student had on 21 December replied to an advertisement which police suggested was in reality placed by men seeking sexual services.

She went to a house outside the city for an interview, as instructed.

Her father reported her missing the same day when she failed to return home from her university.

A massive search by police and volunteers was launched resulting in her body being found two days later.

A police source said: 'The first man was caught at about 2 am, the second the following afternoon.

'One of them was last year suspected in a criminal case involving rape but…the case was closed.'

Kristina is believed to have argued recently with her father who said she should behave in a more 'modest' way.

On the day she vanished, her phone was live until 8pm but she did not pick up calls.

The student had replied to an advertisement which police suggested was in reality placed by men seeking sexual services. Police have now issued a warning to young women about replying to such postings

Following the incident police urged young women to beware of advertisements for cleaning or domestic help which, in reality, are placed by men seeking sex.

It emerged that police stopped the car that was used to dump her remains and officers saw the zip-up bag containing her body in the boot.

But the two men drove off and escaped from police. Later, after the body was dumped, police stopped the car again.

This time the driver was detained but the other man fled. He was later caught by police. Both have been remanded in custody.
