Russia's most famous female bodyguard Anna Loginova has been killed after failing to prevent her own Porsche being carjacked.
The glamorous 29-year-old died from head injuries after clinging on to the door handle and being dragged along the street at high speed as the car screeched away.
"She suffered serious injuries and died at the scene," said a police spokesman.
Police believe that she was killed in a random carjacking and was not the victim of an attack based on her work for wealthy high-profile Russian clients.
Loginova ran an agency for female bodyguards, some trained by the ex-KGB, to give discreet protection to Moscow's billionaires and their wives and mistresses.
In a recent magazine interview, she insisted that she and her team of glamorous bodyguards gave better protection than the more traditional beefy male security men.
"I do think that a girl should be a girl, not a Terminator," she said. She posed semi-naked for a Moscow men's magazine to make it clear that she was feminine as well as good with a gun.
The glamorous bodyguard was killed as her Porsche was carjacked
She was highly respected for her bodyguard skills. "A normal man gets sick and tired of male bodyguards around him all the time," she said.
"In addition, many restaurants now do not allow a guard inside. They can come in and check everything but then they are asked to wait in the lobby.
"In contrast, you can take female bodyguards inside, she will sit down at the table and nobody would guess that she's a weapon herself - and can react appropriately in any dangerous situation."
She spoke of a recent carjacking incident in Moscow.
"I got out, locked the car and at that moment a man ran up and squeezed my hand with keys. I reacted immediately with a Jujutsu move, bending back his hand and hitting his face with my elbow.
"He did not expect such a reaction. The next moment, I took out my handgun but a Honda car passed by and he jumped in."
Last year, 50 Porsche cars were stolen in Moscow, including 12 within the last two months. Only three were ever found.
“Police believe that she was killed in a random carjacking”

Pretty but, really...lose the wig and go natural.
Bada Ping if not for the photo.
Great quote. Wonder how their wives feel?
... wig? What wig? ;-D
I’ll see that bada-”ping” and raise you a bada-bauw.
Now, should the coroner declare that the carpet matches the drapes?
Well....typically I say...
“She has hair????” after that
“She has a cranium????”

Too late for that. Perhaps the mortician can make those changes.
Who knows and has the time to notice if one is doing the Lord’s Good Work.

No carpet; hardwood floor I bet :)
Pretty gal doing dangerous work. A shame on many levels.
“Last year, 50 Porsche cars were stolen in Moscow, including 12 within the last two months. Only three were ever found.”
think some folks are missing the bad old days?
I think we can all agree that this crime wave in Russia has now officially gone too far.
What a country.
As opposed to our country where people die for $35?
She might have been a “famous - and glamorous - female bodyguard”, but she wasn’t very smart, was she? Who hangs onto the car handle of a car being hijacked by choice?
