Breaking Bad student put prof’s corpse in acid bath

-

IN 2007, David decided to inject a bit of Spice into his life and romanced Geri Halliwell, 45, but their blossoming love only lasted six weeks before they went their separate ways.

IN 2018, it was reported David was secretly dating Chloe Ayling, 22, the glamour model who had been held hostage for six days in Italy by a group calling itself Black Death. He had become friends with her on social media.

LEGGY model Lisa, 46, briefly dated the

star in 2005 before confessing to “breaking his heart”. However, the couple are now firm friends.

ACTRESS Patsy, 49, was dating the

judge in 2004 for a few months and the couple were reportedly looking for houses together.

CLOSE: Prof Kuznetsov and his pupil Bykovsky

A DISTURBED pupil chopped up his chemistry teacher and dumped the dismembere­d body parts in acid.

Postgrad student Dmitry Bykovsky, 33, was inspired by the TV series Breaking Bad to carry out the brutal murder of Prof Vladislav Kuznetsov, 58, in Voronezh, Russia.

Police have detained him and an accomplice, IT specialist Alexander Kharlamov, 30.

The pair raided the professor’s bank accounts after using a cloth soaked in chloroform to knock him unconsciou­s.

They stole around £ 17,000.

When they realised Prof Kuznetsov was no longer breathing, they took his body to a flat rented by Kharlamov.

There they cut him up and dissolved his body parts in a bath of acid.

Cops say the academic – who went missing on

March 5 – was close to Bykovsky and opened his door to him when the student came to his flat with Kharlamov.

Detectives say it was Kharlamov who confessed to the scheme.

Kharlamov told a court: “I committed evil, so must be punished.”

Walter White was a high school chemistry teacher who embarked on a life of crime in Netflix show Breaking Bad. White – along with Jesse Pinkman and other characters – use acid to dispose of corpses.

Bykovsky has so far refused to speak about the murder – or claims he modelled himself on Walter White, who was played in the series by actor Bryan Cranston.

But Bykovsky had used an image of White as his user picture on a social media account.
