KIEV: The Ukrainian girlfriend of murdered Russian opposition activist Boris Nemtsov, who was by his side when he was shot dead, has complained to police of receiving death threats, Ukrainian prosecutors said on Friday.
“Ganna Duritska... filed a statement about the threat to her life from unidentified people during her time in her parents’ home” where she has stayed since her return on Monday to Kiev from Moscow, said a statement from the prosecutor general.
Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin in consequence ordered that “all necessary measures are taken to protect the life and health” of Duritska, a Ukrainian model.
Spokesman at the prosecutor’s office Andriy Demartyno told AFP that the protection measures mean several “police special forces officers” will ensure her safety. He did not detail the nature of the death threats.
