Demands for investigation into truth "Navalny's body not handed over for 14 days'' increase. Russian human rights groups have received more than 60,000 opinions from citizens asking the Federal Investigative Committee to return the bodies to the families of the deceased.

Navalny's wife, Yulia, released a video message on the 19th saying, ``Vladimir Putin killed my husband. The reason we are not handing over the body is because we are waiting for the traces of poison to disappear.''
