In a latest development in Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin’s death report, the Russian investigators have recovered flight recorders and ten bodies from the spot of the plane crash that happened two days ago.

Russian investigators recover 10 bodies from spot of crash

A probe is underway into what caused Wednesday’s plane crash, which is exactly two months after Wagner chief’s failed coup against Moscow’s military leadership.

Briefing about the investigation, Russia’s Investigative Committee said on social media, “In the course of initial investigative work, the bodies of 10 victims were found at the site of the plane crash.”

“Molecular genetic analyses are being carried out to establish their identities,” it said, adding that “flight recorders” were also recovered from the scene.

Is this incident assassination?

Since the crash has been reported, which claimed the lives of Wagner chief’s close aides also, many Western nations and Kremlin critics have speculated Yevgeny Prigozhin could have been assassinated.

However, the Kremlin has refuted all the suggestions, calling the crash ‘tragic’ and dismissing rumours of possible foul play as an ‘absolute lie.’

According to the Russian officials, they have set a probe into violations of air traffic rules, but have otherwise been silent about what may have caused the incident.
