Memorial service for slain ex Russian MP

(25 Mar 2017) A memorial service for the vocal Kremlin critic Denis Voronenkov was held in Kiev on Saturday, two days after he was gunned down in the Ukrainian capital. Voronenkov, a former Russian lawmaker who became a vociferous critic of Moscow following his recent move to Ukraine, was shot dead near the entrance to an upscale hotel in the center of Kiev. Ukraine's chief prosecutor, Yuriy Lutsenko, said Voronenkov was killed shortly before meeting with another fugitive Russian lawmaker, Ilya Ponomaryov. Both men were scheduled to give testimony later on Thursday at Ukraine's Military Prosecutor's Office. The purpose of the testimony was not immediately clear. Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's interior minister, said he thinks the Kremlin is behind the murder. Ukrainian media on Friday published leaked CCTV footage of the attack. It appears to show the killer shooting Voronenkov from behind as he was walking down the street with his bodyguard. When the bodyguard tries to intervene, he is also shot, leaving the killer free to shoot Voronenkov again as he is lying on the floor. The injured bodyguard then pulls out his gun and, while lying on the floor, opens fire on the killer, who died later in the hospital. The slaying ignited an uproar between Moscow and Kiev, with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko immediately calling the killing an "act of state terrorism" by Russia. Russian officials angrily denied the charge, suggesting that Ukraine was organising a cover-up.
