\n An unidentified attacker shot Mr Nemtsov four times in central Moscow, a source in the law enforcement bodies told Russia’s Interfax news agency.\n<\/p>\n

\n He was reportedly shot near the Kremlin while walking with a woman.\n<\/p>\n

\n He died just before a march in Moscow against the war in Ukraine which he was actively promoting.\n<\/p>\n

\n In a recent interview, he had said he feared Russian President Vladimir Putin would have him killed because of his opposition to the war in Ukraine.\n<\/p>\n

\n Mr Putin has condemned the killing, a Kremlin spokesman told news agencies.\n<\/p>\n

\n Mr Nemtsov, 55, served as first deputy prime minister under the late President Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s.\n<\/p>\n

\n He had earned a reputation as an economic reformer while governor of one of Russia’s biggest cities, Nizhny Novgorod.\n<\/p>\n

\n Falling out of favour with Yeltsin’s successor, Mr Putin, Mr Nemtsov became an outspoken opposition politician.\n<\/p>\n
