Moscow (AFP) - The chief witness in the murder of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov -- a Ukrainian model who was his girlfriend -- arrived in Kiev, as authorities vowed to solve the most shocking political assassination to take place during Vladimir Putin's rule.

Ganna Duritska, who was walking with Nemtsov when he died, arrived safely at Kiev airport, her lawyer Vadim Prokhorov -- who was accompanying her -- told reporters, adding that she needed to rest.

Duritska earlier said investigators were preventing her from leaving Moscow.

The funeral for Nemtsov, a 55-year-old former deputy prime minister, longtime Putin critic and anti-corruption crusader, was to be held Tuesday in the Russian capital's Troekurovskoye cemetery.

1. "Who was walking with him when he died"

Fucking passive voice. When he was killed, yahoo. Sheesh.

3. “traduttore, traditore”

Translator, traitor.
I wouldn't hold it against the translator, at least you understood it. Not like camera instructions from Japanese to English in the 70s.

13. Normally, people say using the active voice - ie "he died" - is better.

In this case, you're saying they should have used the passive voice - "he was killed". It's not a simple matter of one always being preferable.

[Brickbat]

24. Actually, "he died" is active voice.

"When he was killed" is passive.

2. Killers leave an eyewitness alone, right beside a street cleaner truck, on a public street...professional job?

The eyewitness is not detained for questioning.

Not logical.

[uhnope]

5. oh brother. The Nemtsov Truthers have begun

[HERVEPA]

7. One of the usual suspects

14. Unreal.. smh

[snooper2]

20. I'm sure you and Robert will get to the bottom of it

with all kinds of truthy

8. The BBC yesterday said the street cleaning truck was blocking the camera that would have seen.

Funny how that happened.

[MattSh]

9. That would suggest...

that either Nemtsov himself or his female companion was in on it.

[LeftyMom]

10. I'm sure one of them was also driving a car with no plates in a high security area.

But how he managed to be appear to be three armed people and shoot himself repeatedly is still something of a mystery. I'm sure RT is on it.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. She kidnapped herself, man!

[uhnope]

31. the suicide theory?

[newthinking]

12. The girlfriend stopped the street cleaning truck. It was after he was killed.

Things are slowly coming out.

That is one of the problems with our tabloid western media. They throw out casual information because it creates headlines. Those of us old enough remember a time when they would have made sure that information was accurate before doing so (usually at least). But those times are long gone.

The western press is no more reliable (or less biased) than RT (though for different reasons). Wise people don't trust either but use all sources and search to verify. There is no other way to determine the truth (or use one of the few trusted alternative media that are not after mammon and keeping power and money happy).

[Fred Sanders]

16. Instant criminal investigation by media...always wrong.

[CreekDog]

28. you don't seem to be against people coming to conclusions about posts in general

what is special about this topic that has you raising the caution flag?

[uhnope]

25. The Nemtsov Truthers & spread of cognitive derangement

The western press is no more reliable (or less biased) than RT

LOL.

It's part of the aim of RT and Putin Explainers to make people believe BS exactly like that--everything is all opaque and unknowable, so just sit back and watch newsmodels like Abby Martin babble about conspiracies and the "MSM" because who knows who shot Nemtsov? Maybe he shot himself. The suicide theory, why not.

[newthinking]

26. Hyperbole much?

And your approach is



Enemy/ally
angel/devil
putin licker / rightious warrior

How is that approach honest or helpful? It's not. And you won't intimidate me by using these tactics either.

[newthinking]

27. And why would you print my comment out of context? For honest discussion?

Your quote from my post:

The western press is no more reliable (or less biased) than RT

The full quote:

19. I don't see you

All the video cameras hung up around the world seem to be useless.Whenever there is a incident, the cameras for some reason don't work. the Pentagon had multiple cameras, yet no video. The Boston marathon bombings had a traffic camera right above the alleged bombers, yet no video.Seems to be a huge waste of taxpayer money.

[SkyDaddy7]

22. WTF?

They caught the Boston Bombers due to all the cameras in the area...There is also video of the bombers placing the bombs that will be shown at trial.

Cameras were THE REASON they were able to ID the bombers as soon as they did.

11. She's on the list of suspects.

Like most people, I don't know who killed him, but anytime there's an unusual relationship it's a red flag. As I understand it, she's a model a full 30 years younger than him, and could have been involved with others who had an agenda, romantic or not. Perhaps even with the govt for all anyone knows. Certainly the secret police have such people on the payroll and always have.

I doubt we ever learn the truth. At least not the unofficial truth.

[Bluenorthwest]

15. Yeah, in Moscow an 'unusual relationship' includes any same sex relationship.

'If it is not like me and my wife, it is unusual and unusual is warning sign'.
That is exactly the thinking that has been used against LGBT people for all time, and thus I reject it.

[JohnnyRingo]

23. Are you saying he's involved in a same sex relationship?

I didn't know that. I assumed when I read "model who is 30 years his junior" that it was a female.

My bad. When I cited an "unusual relationship" I meant because of the age difference and level of attractiveness. Now you tell me it was a male model.

[Fred Sanders]

17. She quickly went back to......Kiev....you would think she would have stayed with her "friend".

If she is an operative she is a Ukrainian operative.

[elias49]

18. Seems reasonable.

And now that she's safely in Ukraine, the backstory will be fleshed out. And after she's 'rested', she'll tell her story. Can't wait.

[CreekDog]

29. you just said not to jump to conclusions

but you jumped on this one and fast.
