If that would have been the case, the moment the body was given to the mother we would have seen photos of his "beaten up" cadaver on every newpaper in a matter of minutes. Instead we only got minor articles saying "the body was given to the mother" and that's it. I know this goes against the current "everything that goes against Putin is true" way of thinking, but creating conspiracy theories based on wishful thinking only helps Putin make his points against the "western propaganda".
