Russian Agents 'May Have Killed Whistleblower'

The Russian state security service may have been involved in the death of a whistleblower who was working on a multimillion-pound fraud case, an inquest has heard. Alexander Perepilichny died while jogging near his home in a private Surrey estate in November 2012. The Russian businessman was first thought to have died of natural causes, but traces of a chemical found in a poisonous plant, gelsemium elegans, were detected in his body.
