Murder of Lyubov Nechayeva

On the 16th of April 2003, off the coast of Greece in the Mediterranean Sea, Lyubov Nechayeva, the then-girlfriend of Russian oligarch Anton Suvorov, was pushed off the side of Suvorov's father's yacht and into the water. Nechayeva, originating from a remote town in Siberia had never learned to swim, and as a result Nechayeva drowned. Suvorov claims that he was drunk and does not recall the incident happening, while Suvorov's father Aleksandr was not present during the time of the incident before his son rushed up to him. Major Russian news sources reported that Nechayeva fell into the water herself without Suvorov's involvement. Suvorov would be seen with another girl only a month later. 
==Conspiracies==
===Alleged break-up===
A few months after the incident, Lyubov Nechayeva's mother Svetlana Nechayeva told an independent Russian news source that Anton and Lyubov's relationship was worsening as time went on. Svetlana recalls that Lyubov felt "not as bright as usual". 
Anton Suvorov was asked on the incident and if anything was amiss between the couple. Suvorov denied all claims of an alleged break-up and claimed that "everything was totally fine". The Nechayeva family attempted to sue the Suvorov family, claiming Anton as "responsible for the incident". The grieving family lost the court case after three weeks.
===Falling into water on accident===
Anton in interviews claims that he wasn't present when Lyubov fell into the water. He claims that he was intoxicated during the time of the incident and doesn't recall anything apart from the fact that he wasn't with his girlfriend during the time of the incident.
While it is majorly rumoured that Suvorov is lying, as presented by the Nechayeva family and many other news tabloids, many major Russian sources claim that Suvorov was not involved in the incident, and it has been accepted as the truth to a major portion of the Russian population.
===Premeditated act from Suvorov===
During the evening of the incident, Aleksandr Suvorov's yacht was stationed just outside Agios Nikolaos in Crete where Aleksandr picked up a few friends who were on vacation on Greece, including Greek photographer Kostas Stefanidis. Stefanidis reveals that he heard arguing between Suvorov and Nechayeva during the time on the ship, and saw Suvorov look over the side of the yacht a few minutes later before walking away. Stefanidis revealed this to Greek news sources, but it never picked up traction in Russia. Stefanidis to the day remains as the only possible witness to the incident.
