“#Russian man arraigned on murder charge in Catherine Serou’s death<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

An ex-convict with a history of violent sex crimes has app<\/a>eared in a Russian court on charges he murdered former US Marine Catherine Serou, who had texted her mom, \u201cI hope I\u2019m not being abducted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alexander Popov, 43, was filmed wearing a camouflage T-shirt and nervously fiddling with his hands in the courtroom dock late Saturday after the missing American law student\u2019s body was found earlier that day in a wooded area.<\/p>\n

He was arraigned on a murder charge after allegedly confessing to raping and then stabbing Serou, a 34-year-old veteran, and leaving her for dead, according to the East2West news<\/a> agency.<\/p>\n

Popov has a lengthy rap sheet that includes convictions for rape and sexual assault, as well as hooliganism and robbery, the agency said.<\/p>\n

In a rush, she appears to have accepted a ride from a passing driver rather than waiting for an Uber, her mom, Beccy Serou, of Vicksburg, Mississippi, told NPR. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn a car with a stranger. I hope I\u2019m not being abducted,\u201d she texted her mom.<\/p>\n

Popov allegedly told interrogators that he drove her to a forest outside Nizhny Novgorod where he raped her before pummeling her with his fists, East2West reported.<\/p>\n

He then stabbed her three times \u201cbefore leaving her to die in the forest\u201d outside the Bor suburb where she lived, the agency said, citing police.<\/p>\n
