Video footage has been released which purportedly shows Belarusian journalist Pavel Sheremet's killers planting a bomb under his car.

As we reported last night, Ukrainian investigators said that they had found surveillance camera footage of this moment in the early hours of July 20.

Today Obozrevatel has published what they say is the video, taken from several cameras and showing an unidentified woman carrying a bag to the Subaru car belonging to Sheremet's partner, Ukrainska Pravda editor Olena Prytula. She is accompanied by a man, who walks with a distinctive limp, who appears to keep watch from the other side of the road.

Sheremet was killed when a bomb went off under his side of the car while he was driving to work just after 7:45. A memorial service for Sheremet took place today ahead of his burial in his native Minsk tomorrow.

A prominent American journalist who had written incisively about the connections of politics, business and crime in Russia throughout its post-Soviet reorganization was shot to death Friday night outside the magazine offices where he worked.

Paul Klebnikov, the editor in chief of Forbes Russia magazine, was shot four times as he left work and walked toward a nearby subway station, a local radio station reported. The radio cited witnesses who said he was shot by a bearded man who had stepped from a car.

Klebnikov, editor of Forbes Russia and an investigative reporter, was gunned down as he left his Moscow office at about 10 p.m. Authorities in Moscow described the case as a contract murder and said that he may have been killed because of his work. Klebnikov, 41, a U.S. journalist of Russian descent, was shot at least nine times from a passing car.
Klebnikov was the 11th journalist in Russia to be killed in a contract-style murder in the four years after President Vladimir Putin came to power, according to CPJ research. No one had been brought to justice in any of the cases
