A Paralympic wrestler was gunned down at point blank range by a love rival after being lured into a honey trap by his former girlfriend.
Semyon Filatov, 24, was shot six times in the heart and once in the face by Israel Aliev, 21, after Anastasia Miniaylova tricked him into a wide open space where he could be murdered.
Aliev has reportedly held a grudge against Filatov, a successful Russian athlete, since he beat him up after discovering that he had been seeing Miniaylova.
