"Now the killed journalist’s car is being examined. Besides, the investigating group is watching video footage from the outdoor CCTV cameras," the weekly said. "As reports say, one of the CCTV cameras recorded the moment when the explosives were installed under the car of Yelena Pritula overnight to July 20."
