LGBT NEWS: Russia - Gay man dead after being raped with beer bottles and skull smashed

A 23 year old man was found dead on Friday after a horrific attack that left him with a smashed skull. The attack took place in Volgograd, Russia. ‘He was raped with beer bottles and had his skull smashed with a stone,’ Natalia Kunitskaya, a spokeswoman for the Volgograd region branch of the Investigative Committee reported.
