The bodies of an Azerbaijani man, 24, with multiple stab wounds and a female Muscovite, 25, were discovered in a park in Biryulyovo-Zapadnoye in southern Moscow, 100 meters from the Krasny Stroitel railway station early on Tuesday. The man had been strangled with a belt.

Both the man and woman are believed to have died about 20 minutes before they were discovered, a source in Moscow's law enforcement told Interfax on Wednesday.

The murder is under criminal investigation.
