Investigators file new charges in Russia journalist murder

Russian investigators have marked the fifth anniversary of journalist Anna Politkovskaya’s murder by filing new charges against suspects involved in the killing, but have remained silent about who might have ordered her murder.

Ms Politkovskaya, a sharp critic of the Kremlin and its policies in Chechnya, was gunned down in the lift of her Moscow apartment building on October 7, 2006. The attack drew worldwide attention to violence against journalists in Russia and caused widespread suspicions of government involvement.
