It is the MO of the KGB to pay local thugs to do their dirty work.

The second one today...

Let's count, one guy poisoned, one lady shot, another guy tumbles out a window, this guy is shot... All under mysterious circumstances. Any others I'm missing?

Riiiiggghht. Nothing to see here. Move along. It's just another coincidence. They happen all the time.

It's simply BAD LUCK to criticize Putin.
