Politician found cemented in barrel

The body of a Russian politician has been found cemented in a barrel, and a former government official has been accused of ordering the killing over an $80 million (€59 million) debt, officials say.

Mikhail Pakhomov, 37, went missing last week. He was a member of the local council in Lipetsk, a city 350 kilometres (215 miles) south of Moscow.
