MOSCOW (AP) — The son of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya on Tuesday criticized the authorities’ deal with a former police officer accused of involvement in her 2006 killing, saying it wouldn’t help to determine who ordered the murder.
Dmitry Pavlyuchenkov, who is accused of helping track Politkovskaya’s movements, is set to go on trial Wednesday after reaching a deal to assist investigators. The suspected triggerman and four others accused of involvement in the killing will be tried separately.
