Security cameras that would have filmed Boris Nemtsov shooting were 'turned off for repairs'

I'm sure Putin will get to the bottom of this...

Security cameras that would have filmed the shooting of Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov were turned off for repairs at the time, according to local media reports.

The claims come amid conflicting reports about whether footage of the killing exists.

Sources at the country’s Interior Ministry say there was no CCTV footage of the killing because the cameras in question were not working, according to the Kommersant newspaper.

Recordings of the event were “either not very clear, or altogether absent, as they were turned off for repair”, the newspaper said.

I would not give anyone who may have captured the killing on camera much of a chance to have survived the day.

. . . guess the deaths of 125 (?) people there must be an afterthought when bumped next to the abundant effort to cover the visual evidence up.
