The vice president of a Russian bank plunged to her death from a balcony window in Moscow last Friday evening, the latest in a spate of such deaths. Kristina Baikova, the 28-year-old VP of Loko-Bank, plummeted from her 11th floor window on June 23 and was pronounced dead at the scene. It has been reported that the finance whizz was with a 34 year old friend named Andrei, at the time of her fall. When quizzed by the authorities, Andrei allegedly informed them that he had been invited to Kristina’s apartment for drinks. He claimed that at around 3 am she decided to go out onto the balcony, from where she somehow fell to her death out of the window.
