THE decapitated body of a top Russian manager has been found in what is the latest in a string of suspicious deaths among high-profile Russians.
Alexei Sinitsyn, 49, was found dead under a bridge in Russia’s Baltic region of Kaliningrad – a tow rope reportedly tied to his body.

Sinitsyn was general director of K-Potash Service, a company extracting potassium-magnesium salts.
Russian state media reported the death as “suicide” before an investigation was launched into Sinitsyn’s cause of death.
The company had repeated court disputes with Rosprirodnadzor, Russia’s Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources.
Sinitsyn’s company – which had links in the Netherlands and Cyprus – was implementing the largest extraction of potassium sulphate and magnesium sulphate at the Nivenskoye deposit in Kaliningrad region.
Reports said there were planned investments of £528 million.
Anton Alikhanov, who was Putin’s former governor in Kaliningrad and is now the Kremlin minister for industry and trade, boasted the project would become a “world leader in the production of chlorine-free mineral fertilisers based on potassium and magnesium”.
The Russian Investigative Committee has opened an investigation into Sinitsyn’s death.
“The body was found ‘without a head,'” said a law enforcement source.
Sinitsyn leaves behind his wife Elena and their two daughters.
Local media reported on Monday that said Sinitsyn had financial links to former Lukoil top manager, Alexander Subbotin, who was found dead in May 2022 in the basement of a house in Mytishchi.
