Russian professor cries watching video of himself dumping lover’s limbs into river

A Russian professor who beheaded his lover — and then planned to commit suicide dressed as Napoleon Bonaparte — cried in court Monday as he watched surveillance footage of himself dumping her body parts, a report said.

St. Petersburg State University teacher Oleg Sokolov — a 63-year-old renowned Napoleon historian and reenactor — has admitted to gunning down student-turned-gal pal Anastasia Yeshchenko, 24, in his home last week, authorities said.

The victim had told her brother in a tearful phone call before her murder that Sokolov was jealous because she wanted to go to a friend’s birthday party, according to the news outlet Crime Russia.

The victim told her sibling that Sokolov had kicked her out of his apartment, where she had been living with him, but that she needed to return to collect her things. When she did return Thursday, Sokolov killed her, cops said.
