As the third anniversary of her murder was marked, the family of Kremlin critic Anna Politkovskaya have voiced doubts about Moscow’s commitment to finding her killers. Relatives are sceptical that two men accused in the crime are guilty.

He urged mourners to do everything possible to defend freedom in memory of slain colleagues and, in particular, Anna Politkovskaya.
