Romanov gives to Jolanta fund

HEARTS owner Vladimir Romanov has donated thousands of pounds to the family of tragic Lithuanian woman Jolanta Bledaite.

Mr Romanov decided to give the money to the family of the 35-year-old migrant worker – whose head was found on an Arbroath beach – to help pay for her funeral in her homeland, it has been reported. It is understood the donation will also allow her family to repatriate her body.

Mr Romanov, who grew up in Lithuania, had wanted to keep the donation secret, it is believed.

He is one of many celebrities to have pledged money to the appeal for the woman.
