All necessary measures to protect the only witness in the politician's murder are being taken.
"On March 5, Anna Duritskaya, who is a witness in the case in the murder of Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, turned to the Ukrainian police in the Kiev Region <…> with a statement on a threat to her life from unidentified individuals while she was at her parents’ residence," the Prosecutor General’s Office said in a statement.
Nemtsov, 55, who once held high positions during the late Yeltsin administration, was shot dead last week while walking across a bridge next to the Kremlin in downtown Moscow with Duritskaya, a 23-year-old Ukrainian model, who has since returned to Ukraine.
