Second Assassination, Police investigating Unexplained death of another Putin Enemy.

So this is just breaking just now, looks like the current investigation into the attempted assassination of a former Russian spy in has just took a disturbing turn.

According to The Tellegraph

Counter terrorism police have launched an investigation into the ‘unexplained’ death of a Russian business partner of Boris Berezovsky, Vladimir Putin’s arch enemy.

Nikolai Grushkov, 69, was found dead at his home in New Malden in south London on Monday evening.

Grushkov was the closest aide to Berezovsky who died in mysterious circumstances in 2013 at his home in Surrey. The death of Grushkov just eight days after the attempted assassination of Sergei Skripal, the Russian double agent who sold state secrets to MI6, will cause alarm although Scotland yard has insisted there is no evidence to suggest the two incidents are linked.

Interesting that SO15 are also investigating this yet at the same time saying that the two cases are so far being treated as not being linked.

I’m sure is coincidence, da?

Crazy. It makes no sense that the former Russian spy was never assassinated in Moscow as he was serving his sentence for high treason, and he was even handed over in a trade with the Americans. He was assassinated in London. It almost looks like MI6 is cleaning up its mess while creating more scapegoats.

I'm talking of the most recent case of assassination of a Russian/MI6 spy.

The article appears to be nothing but idle speculation and wild conjecture. Is anyone else noticing the theme they keep pushing in the news?

"RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA!"

I don't believe a word of it

It's strange how all of a sudden, the media is concerned about the Kremlin killing in-house spies/former spies. Kim Jong kills lots of them.

Are we now trying to INTERFERE in Russia's internal affairs?

The chap found dead in London is not a spy and the other chap targeted with his daughter was done so in Salisbury

I think you might be getting your assassinations mixed up, understandable with the way its been over the last few days. This article is about the unexplained death of a man called Gkruskov (excuse my spelling) who was a close associate of another Russian called Berezovsky who was widely believe to also have been assassinated by the Russian state in 2013 (it was never proven however). So far police are saying it does not appear to be connected to the attempt on Skripal however its pretty early on in their investigation and they are awaiting a postmortom.

So I think you have your Russians confused

he was even handed over in a trade with the Americans.

Again Skripal was not this dude.

He was assassinated in London.

I am going to assume you are still talking about Skripal, there was a assassination attempt on him (he is still alive) and it was not in London it was in Salisbury.

it almost looks like MI6 is cleaning up its mess while creating more scapegoats.

There has been nothing so far that suggests any SIS involvement.

Haha!!

oh yeah didn't notice that.

meh we all make mistakes.

I mean, there you go. On a good day being a public enemy of Vladimir Putin will get you sent off to a work camp in Siberia. More than likely you'll just be killed.

Putin is definitely cleaning house.

The article explicitly mentions Sergei Skripal. I was simply making a comment.

Perhaps you are confusing Russians, because no where in the article does it say Gkruskov was assassinated, yet it says assassination in your title.

I think you mean attempted assassination and "unexplained death". You couldn't even garner one star out of it.

You don’t have a clue about this issue , are clearly wrong and clearly trolling

You clearly can’t admit to your mistakes either

Was that clear enough for you?

Dude you got them mixed up.

We are all human even you.

Well yes but I do also put in the title that police are investigating a unexplained death of a Putin enemy, its interesting because SO15 are investigating. Its not outrageous to believe it is possible that Gkruskov has been assasinated, I am not claiming he has been I am just sharing the news that he has been found dead, its unexplained and it's interesting given the timing and his known associates.

News report says they found him with strangulation marks
on his neck.

What we need to know is was he involved with the
Russian sourced Dossier?

I would need to check but am pretty sure thats how Berezovsky was also found, which would be another interesting coincidence.

EDIT:

Just checked, yeah Berezovsky was found with a ligature round his neck.
