Russian Man Arrested in Goa for Double Murder Amid Ongoing Investigation

Russian national Aleksei Leonov was arrested in Goa for allegedly murdering two Russian women named Elena, both acquaintances who owed him money. Police describe the killings as triggered by disputes over loans and a fire dancing prop. Leonov reportedly expressed animosity toward women named Elena, linking it to his mother, but investigators say this was not the motive. Authorities note his psychopathic tendencies and are examining his mental health, drug use, and a digital trail of photos on his phone while verifying his claims of additional killings.
