No third party role in Berezovsky death
26 March 2013 6:42 AM IST
The British police said there is no evidence of a ‘third party’ involvement in the ‘unexplained’ death of Boris Berezovsky, the former-ally-turned-critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The body of the self-exiled Russian oligarch, who fled to Britain in the early 2000s after a bitter falling out with Putin, has now been moved for a post-mortem from his mansion in Ascot, where the 67-year-old was found dead on Saturday.
The cause of death remains ‘unexplained’ and Thames Valley Police said a cordon would remain in place around the house in Berkshire, south-east England, until at least Wednesday or Thursday.
‘It would be wrong to speculate on the cause of death until the post mortem has been carried out. We do not have any evidence at this stage to suggest third party involvement,’ Detective Chief Inspector Kevin Brown, deputy senior investigating officer in the case, said.
‘The investigation team are building a picture of the last days of Mr Berezovsky's life,’ he added.
