The body of Anastasia Berezovska, 39, the Ukrainian national suspected of planting an explosive device in Monaco last week, was found with gunshot wounds in Kyiv on Monday evening, according to Ukrainian reports. Two suspects have been arrested in connection with her murder, including a Ukrainian intelligence officer and a former law enforcement official.
The development marks a dramatic turn in the investigation into the June 29 bombing in Monaco that wounded Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolayev and his family. Berezovska was the primary suspect in that attack, which Monaco's government described as unprecedented. An Interpol wanted notice had been issued for her earlier this week. Ukrainian authorities are now investigating her murder and its possible connection to the original bombing, given the involvement of an intelligence officer among the suspects.
