Startling claims have been made that one of Russia’s most notorious “poisoners” was assassinated over suspicions that he was linked to the intelligence agency of an “unfriendly” country.
Dmitry Kovtun ’s death at the age of 56 was revealed on Saturday, with the official cause being that he had died from Covid complications.
He was wanted in Britain for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko - a leading Vladimir Putin foe - which was reportedly carried out with polonium-210 in 2006.
