Missing 12-year-old girl found dead

CHITA. Sept 4 (Interfax) - Investigators in Russia's Baikal region have launched a criminal inquiry into the murder of 12-year-old Nastya Buburkevich, who went out on Monday evening and never came back, the regional office of the Russian Investigative Committee told Interfax.

"The girl was found dead in the Sosnovy Bor neighborhood. Presumably, she died a violent death," the spokesperson said.

A team of investigators are working at the crime scene.

It was reported earlier that Nastya left the house number 77 in Kirov street for a walk at 9 p.m. and never returned. Her parents tried to find her themselves before calling the police.
