The baseball bat attacks by Snelli Pond

Between 7.20 and 7.45 on the morning of 23 November 2009 a man attacked two women with a baseball bat near Snelli Pond in central Tallinn. Meteorologist Krista Odakivi died in hospital two days later. The second woman survived because she managed to run to other people. The attacker fled and left the bat behind. Detectives took DNA from about a hundred people and went through 1,200 hours of camera footage and 2.75 million phone calls. In August 2010 they arrested restaurant cook Vjatšeslav Bajuk, when DNA linked him to a rape on the Klooga road. In March 2011 the Harju County Court sentenced him to 20 years.

23. novembri 2009 hommikul kella 7.20 ja 7.45 vahel ründas mees Tallinna kesklinnas Snelli tiigi lähedal pesapallikurikaga kaht naist. Meteoroloog Krista Odakivi suri kaks päeva hiljem haiglas. Teine naine jäi ellu, sest tal õnnestus inimeste juurde joosta. Ründaja põgenes ja jättis kurika maha. Uurijad võtsid DNA-proovi umbes sajalt inimeselt ning analüüsisid 1200 tundi valvekaamerate videoid ja 2,75 miljonit telefonikõnet. 2010. aasta augustis vahistati restoranikokk Vjatšeslav Bajuk, kui DNA seostas teda Klooga maanteel toimunud vägistamisega. 2011. aasta märtsis mõistis Harju maakohus ta 20 aastaks vangi.
