A ‘free-flying’ extreme sport jump instructor has been jailed for four years after a woman plunged to her death in a 100ft fall in front of her husband.
'My wife was crushed before my eyes,' said Alexander Tkachenko.
Yevgenia Leontyeva, 33, had been reluctant to make the leap from a hotel rooftop, even though she had done so before.
The mother-of-three let her female friend go first, and this ‘rope free-flying’ leap was successful, a court was told in Karaganda, Kazakhstan.
Witnesses said Yevgenia had appeared 'afraid' - but they heard instructor Alexander Muznikas, 33, urging her to jump.
He told her: 'It's not the first time you've jumped.
'You know how to do it. Did I put a safety harness on you for nothing?'
She is then seen on a harrowing video leaping from the rooftop moments after husband Alexander Tkachenko told her: 'I love you'.
