When 23-year-old Aishat Baimuradova fled her home last year, she believed she finally had a chance to live the way she wanted.
Coming from Chechnya, a conservative Muslim republic in Russia, she cut her hair short, stopped covering her head, shaved off part of her eyebrow and posted quirky selfies on Instagram.
She told her new friends she could finally breathe.
In October, Aishat was found dead in a rented flat in neighbouring Armenia. Police say she was murdered.
Two people were seen leaving the building where she was found, including a woman Aishat had befriended not long before her death. Both reportedly left for Russia soon afterwards.
