Dubai - Shock discovery in Dubai : A missing Ukrainian model (20) was found brutally beaten and with broken bones on the side of the road after a hotel party.

As Holod reports, it was supposed to be an unforgettable evening for Maria Kovalchuk on March 9, but the party turned into a nightmare for the 20-year-old.

The young woman had previously told her mother that she would spend the night with two modeling agents and fly on to Thailand on March 11. But that never happened. Maria disappeared without a trace.

Her distraught family and friends raised the alarm and the police launched a large-scale search.

The 20-year-old disappeared from the face of the earth for eight days - until March 19.

The police made a shocking discovery: Maria was lying on the side of the road in Dubai, covered in blood and badly injured. Her spine was broken, as were her arms and legs.

She was immediately rushed to hospital, where she underwent several life-saving operations. Her condition remains critical and she is reportedly unable to speak.

Family and friends are desperately hoping that Maria will soon recover and reveal what really happened that fateful night. The police are investigating.
