The killing resonated throughout the region.
The victim went missing on July 2018 when she met the 24-year-old man to sell him her Skoda car for the equivalent of about 8,000 dollars.
Her body was found soon after in the rural community of Kizilsky, with signs of violent death.
Authorities say the man, whose name has not been disclosed, struck her several times with a hammer, killing her, and fled the scene in her car.
