Darya, a political analyst and editor of pro-Russia publication United World International, was instead ambushed by a deadly detonation in the jeep, Gazeta reports. She is said to have been killed instantly in the shock blast on the outskirts of Russia’s capital, near the village of Bolshie Vyazemy. The controversial public figure is believed to have been travelling in a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado when the vehicle erupted in flames. Devastated Alexander was pictured arriving at the scene of the incident in horror, holding his head in his hands as he looked on. The jeep, believed to belong to Darya, is engulfed by a devastating fire while emergency services desperately try to extinguish it.
