Boris Berezovsky 'was killed by the BRITISH secret service who feared he would return to Russia and spill state secrets', claims Putin ally

A post-mortem examination on Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky has found he was hanged, police said tonight.
The examination by a Home Office pathologist found nothing to indicate a violent struggle, a spokesman for Thames Valley Police said.
Further tests are now due to be carried out on the body of Mr Berezovsky, 67, who was found dead in his country home in Mill Lane, Ascot, Berkshire, on Saturday.
The news comes after a leading supporter of Vladimir Putin argued that Berezovsky may have been murdered by British spies from MI5 or MI6 to stop him leaking state secrets to the Russians.
Fears in the West that the tycoon was planning to make peace with the president and end his 13-year UK exile may have led to him being assassinated, Kremlin insider Sergei Markov has said.
After falling out with Putin in 2000, the 67-year-old fled to Britain where he was later given political asylum.

But after losing a £3billion High Court battle with Roman Abramovich last year, Berezovsky is said to have 'begged' for Putin's forgiveness in a letter and asked if could could return home.
'It became clear that he was ready to give out all information to the Russian secret services on those Western secret services who are trying to work on throwing Putin down. So they got rid of him,' Sergei Markov said today.
