“It’s a new breed of honorable compassionate hit-men who have vowed to kill quickly, minimize suffering and leave all witnesses safe and untouched.”
These are contract killers brought from afar, maybe Chechnya who will never be seen again. They don’t care about a witness(there were probably several) what they care about is killing the target. Many famous russian killings(Sergei Yushenkov and Paul Klebnikov for instance) had witnesses and were never solved.
You bet, they were from over the rainbow, where hit-men leave witnesses with cell phones untouched. It's a macho Russian thing.
Wrong....People were convicted regarding the Yushenkov murder.
