Ms Pronia, who won prizes at international dance festivals including in Britain, was rushed to hospital and underwent surgery but died two hours after the attack.

‘Men always clung to her and it is possible that one of the rejected fans could have killed her.’
A ‘master of sport’ in ballroom dancing, she is known to have formed her own team to perform at VIP corporate parties and elite clubs – including striptease.
Police are reportedly investigating a theory that Ms Pronina had been in a long-term but secret relationship with a wealthy man, believed to be an MP, who trained in martial arts, according to the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper.
They had been dating until this summer, when the MP’s wife learned about the affair,’ said a report.
The dancer had faced ‘threats’ from the woman, it was claimed.
It was also reported that the assassin, dressed in a hoodie and wearing a mask and glasses, had used a non-lethal self-defence gun redesigned for shooting with real bullets.
‘She did not have a serious relationship,’ said Anzhelika.
‘She was not the type who dreams of a white dress and a bunch of kids. Her work was her life.
‘She earned well, she could afford a lot. Last year, she definitely travelled four times to Milan where she also had fans.
‘But this year, due to the pandemic, she did not fly anywhere.’
