THE chief editor of one of Vladimir Putin's propaganda TV channels has been found dead from a suspected poisoning, it has been claimed. Zoya Konovalova, 48, who ran a channel operating near the frontlines of Mad Vlad's illegal war, was found alongside her ex-husband.
The Kuban editor was found in her bedroom and her 52-year-old former husband Andrey Gubatiyka's corpse was found close by. No visible injuries were found during the examination of the bodies, said a spokesman for the Russian Investigative Committee, which is probing the deaths.The former couple shared a daughter, 15, and an adult son.
The preliminary cause of death is poisoning by an unknown substance, said a report by her own channel. A fragment of a plastic bag with a "powdery substance" was reportedly found in the TV chiefs private house in Krasnodar city. But her colleagues and friends insisted today she would never have taken drugs.
The Kuban media outlet is part of the state-run giant All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company [VGTRK], a key prop in Putins propaganda empire.
