HOW TO NOT ATTRACT ATTENTION TO YOURSELF WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO MURDER SOMEONE

I know that the title of this blog sounds sinister.

But according to the Litvinenko Inquiry, with MI5 gimp Tam and dodgy Emmerson as QCs, the suspects Kovtun and Lugovoi dressed like clowns before their alleged first attempt at murdering Litvinenko.

Giving evidence, the hotel’s manager, Goran Krgo, said he spotted Lugovoi and Kovtun the moment they arrived. “I remember these guests quite vividly,” he told the inquiry on Wednesday. Asked to elaborate, he said: “We found them to be quite comical on account of how they were dressed and the excessive jewellery they were wearing.”

So we have the suspects:
1. dressing like clowns to attract attention to themselves;
2. telling their son to shake hands with the person they have just murdered, with Polonium 210 all over the place.

Make sense?

But how about this:
Giving evidence, Det Con Spencer Scott said he stopped both men at immigration control. He said: “I thought they were of interest.”

He questioned them for 20 minutes. “They were very evasive as to why they were going to the UK,” he said, adding they “gave one-word answers”.

Scott said he let them enter the country after confirming that their business meeting was genuine. “I was given advice I should allow them to go through,” he said.

On whose advice? And for what reason? And was their luggage checked for suspicious substances?
