Here we go: Top Rosneft Exec Found Dead in Moscow (December 26, 2017)

The dateline on your link is Dec 26, 2016.

Sheesh. What's the confusion? The article is British. It refers to "Boxing Day". Brits (and anyone else who cares to find out) know that Boxing Day is the day after Christmas!

Doh! Still getting used to the New Year. . .

The confusion (now cleared up) was from 1. many papers reporting this as if it just happened and 2. the fact Christmas in Russia falls on a different day than the U.K.
