Some sources even believe that the husband might have forced his wife to have sex with her by blackmailing her using a grenade.

Other accounts suggested that a grenade was detonated by the MP’s husband, Nikita, a former member of Russia’s special services.
LifeNews, quoting an anonymous police source, said forensic evidence indicated the couple had sex before the explosion.
Police say the husband, Nikita Bobrovsky, set off the explosive after accusing his politician wife, Oksana Bobrovskaya, on cheating on him with a wealthy man. Mr. Bobrovsky and his wife died in the back seat of their Toyota RAV4.
The source reportedly said: “Presumably during a fierce conflict, he began to force her to perform her conjugal duty by threats and showing her an explosive device”.
But there was also speculation that a bomb had been placed in the auto some time earlier with Mr Bobrovsky the intended victim.
Mrs Bobrovskaya was the deputy general director of Diskus Plus company, one of Novosibirsk’s largest building firms.
Evgenia Romanova, who lives close to where the explosion took place, said: ‘It was horrific – something you would not wish anyone to see. “No heads, glass covered in blood … a nightmare”, the report quoted a neighbour as saying. The girl’s face was almost not visible, there was almost no head. “There was no-one on the front seat”.
The Mayor of Novosibirsk, Anatoly Lokot, has ruled out the hands of terrorists in the explosion and said that the deputy’s death was due to problems in her family.

“This was not a terrorist act”, he said.
