Marina Kokhal is accused of dismembering her husband's body to cover up his murder
In a shocking update into the grisly murder of Russian-Ukrainian rapper
Andy Cartwright, it has been revealed that he was still alive when his
wife began chopping off body parts. New forensic evidence showed that
Cartwright, whose real name was Alexander Yushko, was still alive when
Marina Kokhal “began dismembering him” after he was reportedly starved
of oxygen.
The report stated that the chopping of the body “occurred shortly - a few minutes, dozens of minutes - before death.” Multiple organs
of the rapper were allegedly thrown away by Kokhal. Forensic experts
reportedly claimed that among the eight vital organs, some were either
missing or had been put in a washing machine. It has also been said that
Cartwright's wife gave his fingertips to rats and disposed of other body parts in bin bags.
The 30-year-old died at his home in St Petersburg in July 2020. Though his wife had confessed to cutting his body
and keeping them in the fridge, she denied murdering him. The
37-year-old, and only suspect in the case, has always claimed that the
reason behind Cartwright's death was a drug overdose. Kokhal also
mentioned that she chopped off her husband’s remains so that his fans
did not know he had died such an “inglorious” death. She had planned to
tell everyone that Cartwright had "disappeared". Her lawyer Irina Skurtu
had earlier said, “She categorically does not admit guilt, did not
admit it, and is not going to admit it. The cause of her husband's death
has not yet been established. Marina herself still declares that she
did not kill, but only dismembered the body.”
“The remains were kept in Alexander's room (in black bin liners) and in a fridge. The smell was only in this room. She seemed to me absolutely sane, although very nervous, but she can be understood. She does not look to me like a mad drug addict. She explained the situation quite coherently, but kept repeating: ‘What have I done? What have I done?’” Skurtu added.
Though Kokhal is reportedly the only suspect in the musician’s death, Russian authorities have not yet found any evidence that confirms her involvement in his death. She was behind jail for months before being released in October 2021. According to reports, Cartwright was in an extramarital relationship with a 26-year-old-girl Nadia Romanenko, which allegedly prompted his wife to kill him. His alleged lover has said, “Our sexual relations took place at my apartment. I specially rented a flat near his apartment block. We met every day, and Kokhal did not know about it.”

Meanwhile, the accused’s lawyers have said that Kokhal was wrongfully blamed for “drinking her dead husband’s blood and having sex with his corpse”. The mother-of-one is currently under house arrest as the probe into the case continues. Also, Kokhal, who shared videos with titles like “Congenital aggression. Serial killers” and “When you know your husband's lover personally” on YouTube, is expected to face a fresh trial soon into the case.

You want to rule out a cause of death? Chop 'em up and run the major organs on hot water with bleach in the washing machine.
