Brave woman,her work was controversial so a number of people could have been after her.Chechyna is a dangerous place but she was knee-deep in controversy with her work not only when it comes to Chechyna.Many experts are saying it's more than likely a government/intelligence agency that was involved and not some random murder,who that is nobody knows...probably wont ever find out if history when it comes to such cases is anything to go by.
