Murder case has collapsed, says Litvinenko suspect
The former KGB officer named as a suspect in the murder of Alexander Litvinenko in London last year said today the British Government’s case against him has collapsed and called the dead man a “traitor”.
Andrei Lugovoi, who is running for the Russian parliament in the December 2 elections, said he expects his accusers to use the November 24 anniversary of Mr Litvinenko’s agonising death from radiation poisoning to renew their calls for his extradition.
