The Russian president has vowed to bring to justice those behind the murder of opposition figure Boris Nemtsov. “Everything will be done for the organisers and executors of this vile and cynical murder to receive the punishment they deserve,” read the statement issued by Vladimir Putin yesterday. Earlier in the day, Putin offered his condolences to the mother of the dead politician. Putin also hailed Nemtsov as a frank politician who left an indelible impression on the Russian history, adding, “He occupied on important positions in the difficult transition period of our country. He stated his point of views in an honest and straightforward manner and always defended his stance.”

The Russian president condemned the killing as part of the smear campaign against the Russian leadership, saying it “had all the hallmarks of a contract killing and is entirely provocative in nature.” — PreTV.
