    The use of a slow acting poison is to make sure the target will contact the police, the point is to show the world what happens to traitors while maintaining plausible deniability.

    Guy's if you don't want to watch the ads then trick the video into thinking you watched the whole video by first watching the last 10 or 5 seconds of the video, then simply play the video from the start and like magic no more ads because you tricked the video into thinking you already watched it once so it won't show anymore ads.

They refused. after that they made a public statement that their bosses and putin were corrupted and basically gangsters and murderers. later he was arrested for 2 years, after he was released he managed to escape to london. our government killed him in revenge and so he cannot testify against russian president and his criminal friends-oligarchs

      It is a miracle this man was able to stay alive for weeks after this kind of poisoning, let alone speak in detail and answer police questions. This also gave his family time to say goodbye.
      The doctors provided amazing care. It should be noted in medical journals what protocol was utilized.

I hope you both are able to move on and have a good life. We lost our son in 2012 . he was only 27. Its hard to move on, but we have too. We have since become grandparents and that was a tremendous help to us. Take dare.

    Incredible story. I remember all of this, and it was obvious to pretty much everyone that this was state sponsored and directed. The average murderer does not have access to the substances used, and no other motive was present. We all knew it, but Scotland Yard went to HUGE effort to prove it beyond any doubt. Amazing police work.

Had suffered. I was so moved that I had cut that newspaper cutting and kept it with me for years.. Just because I felt the amount of pain he must have gone through. I was sensitive to that. It's only today that randomly I've found what happened further with his investigation case. I'm glad His story was told and heard.
