The widow of Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko on her husband's murder.

Extraordinary personal stories from around the world. 

Five years ago, the exiled Russian dissident and former KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned with a radioactive substance after meeting two Russian contacts at a hotel bar in London.  He died 23 days later. 

On Outlook today we hear from Alexander's widow Marina. She has recently won the right to a full inquest in a British court, and she is campaigning tirelessly for the truth to be known about her husband's death.
