Crypto millionaire’s tragic final post about wife before they were found dead ‘tortured’ in desert

The final post of the crypto millionaire who was found dismembered in a Dubai desert with his wife has been revealed.

Roman Novak's body was found back in November in the Hatta area. It has been alleged that he and his wife, Anna, a former TV reporter in Russia, were forced to watch each other's torture before being killed and left in a desert.

It's said that the 38-year-old was lured to a villa around 80 miles from Dubai in October, by men who were posing as prospective investors into Novak's reported £380 million fortune.

Three suspects were subsequently detained in St Petersburg, after it was rumoured that two fighters from the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and an ex-murder squad detective orchestrated the murders.

The kidnappers had a 'large ransom' demand which was left 'not paid' prior to their demise. It also recently emerging that Novak sent out a number of desperate messages after he was taken, though to no avail.

Novak founded a company named Fintopio, which provides quick cryptocurrency transfers and partnerships with elite technological companies.

However, the crypto millionaire was reportedly involved in a number of financial deceit cases, even earning himself a six-year prison sentence as the result of a major fraud case.

Novak and Anna, both 37, are said to have been tortured into handing over codes which would have given the men access to their large crypto funds, though their wallets turned out to be empty.

A text from the former read that he was 'stuck in the mountains' near the border with Oman, needing £152,000.

Following the discovery of their mutilated and buried bodies close to the border between UAE and Oman, Novak's penultimate Instagram post has resurfaced. It was also the final one being dedicated to his wife.

It read: "17 years together. 9 years since we threw a coin in this fountain.

"And guess what… we came back. Like a sequel. With better outfits and the same love (plus a lot of grey hairs)."

He added: "She still looks at me like I’m the main character.

"I still look at her like she’s the plot twist I never deserved.

"Rome didn’t change much. We did. But in all the best ways," he concluded.

It's said that the captors went to extreme methods to ensure that the couple's bodies wouldn't be found, stuffing them into polyethylene bags before dousing them with strong chemicals. It was also confirmed that their bodies were cast in concrete and left in the sand.

The three men arrested have been identified as former police officer Constantin Shakht, Yury Sharypov and Vladimir Dalekin. While the latter two pleaded guilty to the crime, Shakht denies any involvement in the act.

Roman and Anna leave behind two children who have now been orphaned. They have reportedly been left in the care of their grandparents in the aftermath of the double killing.
