Ukraine finds 'reporter's skull' (BBC)
Ukrainian investigators say they have found skull fragments believed to be those of the journalist, Georgiy Gongadze, who was decapitated in 2000.

The find came just days after the arrest of a former Ukrainian general suspected of carrying out the murder.

Mr Gongadze was an investigative journalist who had exposed high-level corruption. He was an outspoken critic of former President Leonid Kuchma.

Three policemen were convicted of his murder last year.

Ukrainian investigators said Gen Oleksiy Pukach, a former police officer himself, had confessed to the killing last week when he was arrested, after spending years on the run.

Holy crap -- a General personally strangled an abductee? That makes even Cheney look mild by comparison.

1. Cheney's killed millions.
He's a "statesman."
