The body of a British aid worker who reportedly died after being captured by Russian forces in Ukraine showed signs of "possible unspeakable torture".
The Ukrainian foreign minister said the body of Paul Urey, who died in captivity in July, showed signs of "possible unspeakable torture" when it was returned. The 45-year-old, who has lived in Warrington, was branded a 'mercenary' by the human rights ombudsperson for the Moscow-supported leadership in Donetsk, Daria Morozova.
Ms Morozova claimed Mr Urey died in captivity of chronic illnesses and stress. She said: "From our side he was given the necessary medical assistance despite the grave crimes he committed."
