The final moments of Russian politician Boris Nemtsov as he walked across a Moscow bridge with his girlfriend before being shot in a 'contract hit' were caught on CCTV revealed today. The 55-year-old former deputy prime minister was gunned down on Great Moskvoretsky Bridge on Friday in a 'politically motivated' attack which has sparked outrage and public mourning. Footage of the killing has surfaced, with Russian media reports claiming the killer emerged on foot after loitering on the bridge waiting for Mr Nemtsov. A clip purports to show the killer appear moments after Mr Nemtsov and Anna Duritskaya walk along the bridge which overlooks St Basil's Cathedral.
