Russian whistleblower inquest: 'Poisoned by soup' theory
A Russian whistleblower could have been poisoned with soup but vital evidence about his last meal was "flushed away", an inquest has been told.
Alexander Perepilichnyy collapsed outside his Weybridge home in 2012. Traces of a chemical linked to plant poison were found in his stomach.
Claims have been made he was killed for helping to uncover a major fraud.
The pre-inquest hearing at the Old Bailey heard an ingredient in his sorrel soup may have been switched.
The latest pre-inquest review heard Mr Perepilichnyy had eaten a popular Russian dish based on the sorrel herb but tests had not indentified the herb in his stomach contents.
