In what will come across as a really shocking development, a girl has murdered her own sister before proceeding to pluck out her eyes in a jealous drug-fueled feud.
Stefania Dubrovina was stabbed 189 times during the savage attack, after which her body was mutilated.
The nude model’s 22-year-old sister Elizaveta was arrested for the horrific killing, which took place in St Petersburg, Russia.

The papers also allege Dubrovina stabbed her sister in the head, neck, torso, arms and legs, “sliced off her ears” and ” gouged out her eyes”.
At the time of the killing, newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, citing law enforcement sources, reported that Stefania’s body was “almost ruined by cutting performed by the girl’s elder sister”.She will now face trial for the 2016 murder.
