Metro – ‘Putin planned murder down to the second’ 

Metro leads on Russian activist Alexei Navalny’s death, reporting that Putin “planned the killing… in minute detail”.

The Russian prison service said on Friday that Navalny, who was serving a 19-year sentence on charges widely considered to be politically motivated, had died after saying he “felt unwell” following a walk. The paper reports that supporters of Navalny, citing a series of “sinister events”, have claimed President Putin planned the death in “minute detail”.
