The High Court overruled May and a public inquiry in 2016 concluded Vladimir Putin "probably" approved Litvinenko's radioactive killing.

Today's court argument over Dawn Sturgess inquest is similar to what happened with the murder of Alexander #Litvinenko. Then home sec - Theresa May - refused to hold a public inquiry into Russian state role, arguing it might damage "international relations" ie infuriate #Moscow
