A man called S. Enkhmend has been arrested for the rape and murder of a 23 year-old woman, identified only as E.

According to the police, E. worked as a taxi driver in the Orkhon province when on March 20, Enkhmend hired her to go to the Jargalant soum from the Ulaantolgoi collective farm. Somewhere along the way Enkhmend raped her before to stifle her to death with her scarf. He then hid the body in a mountainside place near Ulaantolgoi and left the car in the snow.

Enkhmend was serving a five years prison term in 2006 for a previous sexual assault when he was freed under the amnesty law last August.

He is still being interrogated.
