I heard a radio story saying the two men were executed with a shot in the neck ( ? Into spine at back for a quick kill ) without the family being told the date - they got a letter telling them where to pick up the corpse which regrettably could not be delivered.

KiltedSoldier, that's true. I've seen the photo of the letters. They were told nothing exepting the fact their relatives had been already killed.
They were shot in the backs of the heads.
The letter to the mother (it's in belarussian):

Thank you for checking that - I can't read the Russian A shot in the back of the head is sloppy Chinese style - a firing squad would have been formal justice, perhaps hanging since these men were civilian terrorists by the soy s of it- bombed a metro station killing civilians randomly.

The chekists did it the same way.

I am absolutely positive those guys were not guilty. The investigators and the court in Belarus were under too much pressure from the president; they just had to catch and execute someone to prove their worth.

Too bad if they weren't guilty - I had just assumed they were when the BBC reported it they said nothing about there being a doubt. If innocent I hope they have comfort in the afterlife now. There are plenty of very guilty beyond doubt filth here in the UK who should be executed.
