    and more certain. Sorry for all the collateral damage though, in terms of the other passengers, and the crew.

    Very naive of him to not cover his tracks. Still one nutter out of the way. Just need to get biggest nutter of all.

    Always assuming it was Prigozhin on board, of course. He wouldn’t be the first person in a tight corner to fake his own death. That Putin knew the plan to do this is also not beyond the bounds of possibility. The assumption that Putin made it happen makes him look ‘tough’ and, in a political sense, Prigozhin is effectively out of the picture.

    There was an excellent TV bio-drama "Stonehouse" recently which I would recommend if you haven't already seen. (Matthew Macfadyen plays Stonehouse pretty convincingly.) Also "Canoe Man" on the same theme about John Darwin who faked his own death by canoe-ing out to sea and 'disappearing'.

    The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe. Well worth watching. The two main actors are simply brilliant!

    Keep telling you this:first rule of good English writing Camiller re dangling title, draw your reader in. Make them curious what it is you are writing about. Bear in mind my English teacher was Gervais Phinn. He knew what he was talking about. Not that i was any good at English tho!

    If i had put your title half of the readers would have thought i dont need to read that I've heard it on the news.

    If you wrote a murder story you would put : A murder story in a mansion as ypur book title!

    Come on a little more creativity in your writing.
