a pathologist has concluded that nikolai glushkov died as a result of compression of the neck, suggesting strangulation, but detectives are clear they are keeping an open mind. they'll be looking at all aspects of his life, and of course his past. but the stakes for them are high, not least because of the possible consequences for britain's relationship with russia. in the 1990s, glushkov was director of russia's state airline, aeroflot, but in 1999 he was charged with fraud and money—laundering. afterfive years in prison, he fled to the uk and was given political asylum. among his friends here was the russian billionaire boris berezovsky, a prominent critic of vladimir putin, found dead in 2013 at his former wife's berkshire home. the coroner recorded an open verdict, but nikolai glushkov was convinced that berezovsky and other russian exiles had been murdered. this week, glushkov was due to appear in court in london. the russian authorities were continuing to pursue him for more than £100 million of aeroflot‘s money. did his past make him a target? russia's sternest critics have no

many newspapers have this story, this has been the discovery of the body of nikolai glushkov, 69—year—old russian who was living in london, found in his home in south london by his daughter. counterterrorism police are looking into the unexplained death. at the moment, they are saying there is no link between the attack on the former spy in salisbury but amber rudd, the home secretary, talking about the fact they are now looking into many cases, many deaths. in the uk. in recent years. one of the things to point out, when you look at the stream of deaths that are unexplained or mysterious, however you want to describe them, over the last decade, it looks too much like... suspicious? jono yes, suspicious. —— yes. like... suspicious? jono yes, suspicious. -- yes. you have the strangulation, and also the former soviet businessmen. it slightly plays to all of our desire for these conspiracies but given the whole diplomatic situation, there seems to be more than a coincidence going on. it will be interesting to see what conclusions are drawn and it adds fuel to the fire of this expected re

the daily express, this is the headline, the case of nikolai glushkov, found dead in kingston, london, this week, so suggestion of foul play. but talking to people today, they say there is no evidence of that, but the counterterrorism police had been brought in to look at it which is quite significant. this goes to the idea of a hit list. we will get onto this with labour. the idea of the evidence. the nerve agent used as a calling card to say, if you mess with us, putin is saying, if you betray russia, you will come to a grisly end. now every death of a russian in england will be perhaps linked to a hit list. do you think people are getting alarmed? this is directed at certain people potentially, but the public... they will get alarmed because these are not things they can deploy precisely. as we see with what happened in salisbury, other people were affected. not least the first police officer on the scene, said people are alarmed and they have a right to be so. the thing that worries me, things do seem to be spiralling out of control to some extent, in that if what we see is right,

we are focusing this week on nikolai glushkov who is now subject to a murder enquiry. ijust wonder when you look at these investigations is it difficult to find the line between what might involve the state and what might involve the mafia? that is a very blurred thing. yes, absolutely. when we spoke to the multiple american and british intelligence sources and the ones who told us that they suspect all of these 14 deaths were assassinations by russia, they pointed out that it was often quite hard to figure out whether this was directly the russian state or russian mafia groups. in russia there is often a crossover between the two. what is clear in all of the 14 deaths that we investigated last year was that there were questions to be asked. there were suspicious circumstances around all these deaths. we know about the death of boris berezovsky which the police declared as non—suspicious very quickly, despite previous assassination attempts, despite him being declared public enemy number one in vladimir putin's russia. in other cases basic these investigations were n
