An eight-year-old Russian girl who ran away from home following an argument with her parents was raped and killed after being picked up by a married couple in their car, Russian police have said. Wearing a T-shirt and blue shorts, the girl was reportedly trying to reach her friends in the town where the family used to live. The man told his wife he would 'attack' the girl and 'the woman did nothing to stop it because she was too scared of him', according to a police source. Igor Dvornikov initially denied abducting, abusing and killing the girl, but later confessed, according to law enforcement. The girl had run away from her parents in Novoaleksandrovsk on Sakhalin island, a pacific island north of Japan.
