The suspected poisoning came some six months after Mr Glushkov accused the Kremlin of murdering his friend and Vladimir Putin critic Boris Berezovsky. "He had been visited by two Russians the night before," Mr Carr, now 71, told the Press Association. Mr Carr said his patient had an abnormal heart rhythm, which was very fast. Counter-terrorism police led the murder inquiry after Mr Glushkov was found dead on March 11 this year. Mr Glushkov claimed political asylum in the UK after Russia accused him and Mr Berezovsky, who died in March 2013, of a criminal conspiracy in relation to Aeroflot.
