Well that just goes to show that it's very hard to trust anything you read in the papers!
99% of everyone who read British papers (including me) basically take it as a fact that 'the Russians killed him'.
And then you say it's the opposite in Russia! LOL!
I guess we will never know... I can't remember the facts clearly, but at the time, it really seemed to me this Lugovoi person must be guilty and I thought it was pretty apalling even though I Litvinenko seemed a bit odd too....
There was another totally bizarre killing of a British spy recently. He was found dead inside of a body bag, in the bathtub, in his flat. Somehow media found out about it... after the story had been running for a few weeks, suddenly 'new' evidence was discovered, and it 'turned out' he was a pervert, participating in a sex game....
Who knows whether it was true, or a game.
The guy was a top cryptologer, working for MI6.
