Daily Star

A woman who killed two of her husbands died on her sofa – but not before recording a video revealing where she buried a third.

Russian ‘black widow’ Elena Mitrofanova, 55, took her own life and passed away on her living room couch.

But she left a note reading “Watch the video on my phone”, directing investigators to a shocking self-recorded clip in which she revealed the vegetable patch location of murdered husband Yury Mitrofanov, 58.

The killer from Nizhny, Central Russia spent 20 years in jail for killing two previous husbands, police and a neighbour confirmed to local TV station Kstati.

Yury’s body showed signs of a “violent death” including knife wounds.

Neighbour Valentina Shevekova said she was not surprised by the striking revelations.

She said: “This was to be expected – it wasn’t the first time she had attacked him with a knife.

“She had killed two before – her hubbies.”

Fellow villager Taisia Aleshenkina added: “She had spent 20 years in jail in total.”
