A woman who looks like Natalia Vovk, suspected in the murder of Russian journalist Daria Dugina, spotted in a Vienna hotel.

The woman rented a room for one night and left a Mini Cooper in the parking lot, reports RIA Novosti.

It was previously reported that Vovk had gone from Estonia to Austria, where he was staying in a hotel.

However, no guest under the name of Vovk or Shaban was found in the Viennese hotel system.

Several hotel workers, after looking at Vovk's photo, confirmed that they had seen such a woman.

"Yes, we saw a similar woman, but she was childless," they told TASS.

According to them, if the same woman stayed at the hotel, she probably checked in under a different name.

One of the hotel's employees expressed confidence that exactly the same car as Vovk's - "Mini Cooper" was in the hotel's parking lot, but the car was no longer found there, adds Dir, bg.

Daria Dugina, 29, was killed by a bomb in her car outside Moscow on August 20.

Hundreds of people lined up today to honor the memory of the daughter of leading Russian right-wing political thinker Alexander Dugin.

At the funeral ceremony held at the Ostankino television center, her father said that she had died "for the people and for Russia."

Russian President Vladimir Putin called Dugina's killing a vile and cruel crime.

The head of state awarded the deceased journalist with the "For Courage" order for her selflessness in fulfilling her professional duty.

The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, stated that if the version of the "Ukrainian trail" in the case of Dugina's murder is confirmed by the competent authorities, then we can talk about a policy of state terrorism on a part of Kyiv.

At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities declare that they are not involved in Dugina's murder.

Russia's FSB security services say 43-year-old Natalia Vovk is responsible for the murder of 29-year-old Daria Dugina, daughter of pro-Kremlin ideologue Alexander Dugin.

Ukraine denies.

Last night, Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, again denied that Kyiv had anything to do with the attack.

"Our special services have nothing to do with this," he said.

According to the FSB, Vovk is believed to have fled to Estonia, prompting Russian nationalists to call for tough action against the Baltic country, which is one of Ukraine's biggest backers.

Estonia has so far not received an official request from Russian authorities regarding Natalia Vovk's crossing of the Russian-Estonian border and called it a "provocation" Russia's attempts to charge a Ukrainian woman who killed the daughter of a prominent supporter of President Vladimir Putin.

Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu said in a statement to local television that "this is another in a series of Russian provocations and Estonia has nothing more to say at the moment."

Estonia suffered its biggest cyber attack in 15 years after moving a Soviet-era tank monument near its border with Russia last week.

Reinsalu said it was part of a pattern by Moscow to pressure Tallinn for its support for Ukraine, as Estonia has so far provided more aid per capita to Kyiv than any other country.

"Why did Estonia suffer the biggest cyber attacks since the 'Night of the Bronze Soldier'? Why did the former president of Russia say two weeks ago that Estonia is still a free country is their failure?" he asked on ETV television.

Indrek Kanik, head of the state-backed International Center for Defense and Security think tank, told Estonian television: "It is possible that this is an FSB operation of its own, as these people have become a threat. At the same time, it is convenient to blame the Ukrainians. Now we see that Estonia can also be involved in this".
