Prigozhin's body taken to medical examiner's office as Kremlin remains silent
There has been no comment from the Kremlin or the Russian Ministry of Defense.

LONDON - The bodies of those killed in the plane crash near Kuzhenkino, Russia, including Yevgeny Prigozhin and the commander of the Wagner PMC Dmitry Utkin, have been moved to the Tver Regional Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination, ABC News has learned.

There has still been no comment from the Kremlin or the Russian Ministry of Defense on Wednesday’s crash.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has, however, spoken on Thursday morning as he addressed the BRICS summit of leaders meeting in Johannesburg remotely, but made no mention of the crash in his remarks.

Meanwhile, in St Petersburg -- Prigozhin’s home town -- dozens of people have been arriving to light candles and drop flowers at a pop-up memorial.

The jet manufacturer that Prigozhun and Utkin were reportedly on has an impeccable record and it was the first recorded crash in the history of the Embraer Legacy 600.

Elsewhere, President Zelenskyy made remarks commemorating marking Ukrainian Independence Day and handed out medals to Ukrainian solders.

The Federal Air Transport Agency said the plane was en route from Moscow to St. Petersburg when it went down near Kuzhenkino.

White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement on Wednesday that officials were watching the reports of the plane crash.

"If confirmed, no one should be surprised. The disastrous war in Ukraine led to a private army marching on Moscow, and now -- it would seem -- to this," she said.

Prigozhin was the head of the private paramilitary organization Wagner Group, which played a key role in Russia's invasion of Ukraine before briefly launching an insurrection against the Russian military in June. Forces loyal to Prigozhin marched toward Moscow, before turning back after several days.

Dem dey mourn Prigozhin.

Heffalump:
Prigozhin was killed by Putin, no doubt. This will surely spark off revolution among the Wagner group to overthrow Putin's government.

You can only die once, many brave men in the group will have to say. Enough is enough! Putin has just bitten more than he can chew.

The hidden hand of the Kremlin strikes again?

I knew Prigozhin was living on borrowed time the moment he went up the creek without a paddle.

Nine lives will forever be regarded as "collateral damage". Let's hope the bereaved find some comfort in the memories left behind, and justice in the fullness of time.

His death was probably necessitated by his support for juntas in Niger Republic. Putin won't like to create another enemies in newly found friends in Africa bloc especially now that Ecowas and African union has sactioned them.
