Findings of inquiry into Alexander Litvinenko death to be published

Almost a decade after Alexander Litvinenko’s fatal poisoning sparked one of Britain’s most extraordinary murder investigations, the conclusions of an official inquiry into his death are set to be published.

Chairman Robert Owen’s report will be published on Thursday, just under a year after the probe opened.

The inquiry was tasked with identifying where responsibility for Litvinenko’s death lies. The report is expected to set out “appropriate recommendations” in his report, but Owen cannot make any findings of civil or criminal liability, nor award any compensation.
