Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian journalist known as a fierce critic of the Kremlin’s actions in Chechnya, has been found dead in Moscow.
She was found shot dead near her home in a block of flats in the capital.

A pistol and four bullets were found near her body, the Interfax news agency said, quoting unnamed police sources.

The award-winning journalist fell seriously ill with food poisoning in 2004, which some suspected was an attempt on her life.
