00:00 A quiet residential town in southern Spain - now the scene of an apparent murder.
00:07 Police, quoted by Spanish media, have confirmed the victim is Maxim Kuzminov, a Russian pilot
00:13 who defected to Ukraine last year.
00:16 According to a Spanish news agency, the body was found riddled with bullets and had been
00:20 run over by a car.
00:24 When we got back to the office at 5.30pm, the police were here.
00:28 They came and took the security camera footage to see if there were images of outside.
00:35 In a brazen operation, Kuzminov flew his helicopter into Ukraine in August after planning his
00:41 escape for months.
00:43 Giving a press conference shortly after, he said he did not agree with Moscow's war.
00:49 To be honest, I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
00:51 There is no such thing.
00:52 A little bit of fear.
00:54 Emotions are just experiences.
00:57 The Kremlin said it didn't have any information on Kuzminov's death, though the head of Russia's
01:02 foreign intelligence service was quoted as calling the pilot a traitor and a criminal.
