Her lawyer makes a final say in the death case, for now
A Goa-based Russian consulate lawyer Vikram Varma told IANS that the post-mortem will be conducted in presence of Russian officials soon and the manner of death should be considered closely. “We should rule out any possibility of homicide because people who commit murder, sometimes disguise their acts in such a clever manner that it appears like a suicide or an accident,” he shared.
