A woman in Russia was dragged from her tent and killed by a bear just a day after her fiancé proposed to her on the romantic getaway, according to reports.

Snezhana Korolyova, 29, was camping with her partner, who has not been named, in the Altai Mountains before tragedy struck.

At 1am, the bear reportedly tore apart their tent and ‘hauled the screaming woman away’, mauling her to death and carrying her across the Biya River.

The animal then began to bury the woman in the forest while other campers tried to distract it.

Police and local gamekeepers shot into the air rather than at the bear, according to witnesses, due to Russian rules about not shooting bullets in populated areas.
