It was another horrific murder of a Russian journalist that reverberated around the world, a man pictured lying dead in a pool of blood.
Arkady Babchenko was shot dead at his home in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, after returning from buying bread, local police said late Tuesday.
The world’s media, including Bloomberg News, reported the killing all day on Wednesday with details of previous assassinations and archive footage of the 41-year-old reporter who had been critical of the Kremlin. The news sparked condemnation from the international community and Russia protested being blamed.
Then, at about 5:20 p.m., Babchenko reappeared in Kiev.
