Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the Russian Investigative Committee, the Interior Ministry and the Federal Security Service to set up an investigative team to look into the murder of Boris Nemtsov.

Putin said the murder was "vile and cynical" and claimed that it was likely a contract killing.
