About the Event
This is an extraordinary story of state sponsored murder and revenge. In 1978 Bulgarian journalist Georgi Markov was assassinated on Waterloo Bridge with a microscopic pellet containing the deadly toxin Ricin, fired from a modified umbrella supplied by the KGB. With the Cold War raging we recall the tragic events that shocked the world over 47 years ago. We look at the assassination and the evidence against the main suspect.
