Andrey Botikov was found strangled to death in his apartment in Moscow on 2 March 2023.

A prominent 🇷🇺 Russian scientist who helped develop the world's first COVID-19 vaccine, Sputnik V, was killed in his apartment in Moscow on Thursday, according to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation.

Andrey Botikov, who worked as a senior researcher at the Gamaleya National Research Center for Ecology and Mathematics, was found dead in his apartment on Thursday. His death is being investigated as a murder, the committee said in a Telegram statement.

“According to the investigation, on March 2, 2023, in an apartment building located on Rogova Street in Moscow, a 29-year-old young man, during an argument, strangled the 47-year-old owner of the apartment with a belt and fled the scene,” the committee said in a statement on Friday.

A suspect was arrested shortly after Botikov’s body was found, the federal investigative agency said in the statement. “In the shortest possible time, the location of the attacker was established. During the interrogation, he admitted his guilt, he was charged. Previously, the defendant was prosecuted for committing a serious crime.”

Russian media has identified the suspect as “Alexei Z,” a former convict who spent 10 years in prison on charges of providing sex services. Local media reports, including from Russia’s Mash outlet, said that the incident appeared to have been the result of a money dispute between the scientist and the suspect.

“The body of the 48-year-old man was found… with strangulation marks, several stab wounds and abrasions were found on his body,” Mash reported.

Botikov was one of 18 scientists who developed the world's first COVID-19 vaccine Sputnik V in 2020.

According to The Moscow Times, Russian President Vladimir Putin had honored the virologist with the Order of Merit for the Fatherland award for his work on the COVID vaccine in 2021.

💵 💰🪙 Just as individuals or companies may make purchases on credit or take out a loan to boost their finances, national governments often borrow money to further their country's growth or well-being. When this happens, the money borrowed becomes part of that country's national debt. Stated simply, national debt is the combined debt a country's government owes one or more lenders, such as other governments, various corporations, or even private individuals (such as with treasury bonds). But which countries have the world's highest national debt? The answer to that question merits a bit of explanation.

In terms of raw dollars, the country with the highest debt in the world is unquestionably the United States, whose national debt is more than twice that of any other country.[/color]

On Friday, chief mobiliser for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just-concluded presidential election, Ekene Enefe, accused leading opposition parties, the Labour Party and Peoples Democratic Party, of spamming the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with several hack attacks.

According to Mr Enefe, the attacks were aimed at compromising the commission’s server to produce election results which are only favourable to their parties against the actual will of the voters.

Speaking on ARISE TV on Friday, Mr Enefe accused the parties of hiring foreign hackers to intrude on INEC’s server, an action which he later described as unsuccessful.

“Each party has a situation room. They (sic) …the result and they knew they were losing and they want to cling on something and what they want to cling on was the transmission of the result from the portal. People don’t know how many times INEC server was hacked and attacked and these were done by political parties that brought in Russian and Israeli hackers (sic) …to hack into INEC server and to transmit their own results and create chaos,” he said. “None of them succeeded.”

He further said the repeated hack attempts by opposition parties made the electoral body unable to transmit results electronically, stating, “That’s why, to the best of my knowledge, the election was not transmitted on INEC server.”

But the PDP, Atiku Abubakar’s spokesman, said, “It appears to me that this is a case of turning defence to attack. Tinubu and the APC compromised both the INEC chairman and INEC as an institution. The results were predetermined.”

“Is the APC trying to accuse the PDP of what they actually did?” added Mr Ibe.

The Labour Party could not be reached immediately for comments.

INEC’s spokesman Festus Okoye did not respond to requests seeking clarifications on the matter.
