Two American women in Moscow appear to have been poisoned by thallium (the substance that doctors originally thought had been used to poison Alexander Litvinenko).
Nobody seems quite sure of a motive - the two women, both former Russian citizens, both now said to be recovering - were visiting family in Moscow, and don’t appear to have any political connections.
Kommersant seem to be the only news source currently reporting a view from the FSB that simple crime was the motive:
FSB believes the poisoning of Kovalevskaya mother and daughter is linked to the theft of “some valuable things” of the women.
Curious.
- What next?
