Muslim girl stoned to death for joining beauty contest

London: A 19-year-old Muslim girl was stoned to death in Ukraine under the Islamic Sharia law after she took part in a beauty contest, a media report said on Tuesday.

Katya Koren was found dead in her village. Her battered body was buried in a forest and was found a week after she disappeared, the Daily Mail reported.

Koren's friends said she had come seventh in a beauty contest.

Police are now looking into claims that three Muslim youths killed her.

One of the three youths - a 16-year-old named Bihal Gaziev - is under arrest. He told police that Koren had "violated the laws of Sharia", and that he has no regrets about her death.
