Navalny's body has "bruises from seizures", claims independent Russian media. Russian authorities are not allowing relatives to see the body, and said they would hand it over when they finished the investigation.
Russian Foreign Ministry accused Western countries of baselessly attributing responsibility for Navalny's murder to the Russian Federation. Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov reacted in the same way to the statements of Western leaders. Russian propagandists on RT and other networks suggested alternative theories that once again exonerate Moscow.
