Yulia Navalnaya, wife of late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of being involved her husband's death and vowed on Monday to continue his work, Ednews reports citing ABC.
"We know why Putin killed Alexei three days ago, we will tell you about it soon," she said in a video message. "But the main thing we can do for Alexei and for ourselves is to continue to fight. I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny, continue to fight for our country, and I urge you to stand next to me."
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had earlier denied any involvement in the death, saying there were "no statement from doctors, no information from forensic experts, no final information from the Federal Penitentiary Service, no information about the causes of death."
Officials at a morgue in the Arctic city where it's believed Navalny's body is likely being held refused on Monday morning to allow his elderly mother and lawyers in, according to Navalny's team.
