Anna Krupeynikov was with friends on a sightseeing bus in Moscow when she wandered away from the crowd to take a selfie.

The 21-year-old is alleged to have lent against a fence with her camera in front of her when it gave way and she tumbled to her death.

Anton, 19, one of the group, said: “Suddenly I heard a yell and someone said ‘Anna fell down’. I thought it was a joke but then I saw the reaction of people who went and looked over the side of the bridge.”

A police spokeswoman confirmed they were investigating the death and also looking at who is responsible for maintenance of the railing at the side of the bridge.
