Reads like more of a death of neglect than "tortured and killed". Sure, the whole thing is a sham and the intent was for him to die in prison, but it sounds like they treated him in a relatively respectful + dignified way.
This is a very common tactic in journalism nowadays, you can often tell the bias of the article by whether they say "died after X encounter" vs "killed by X".
Not saying that this particular instance has a strong bias, but in general it's interesting once you start noticing it.
Honestly? The guy came out from a far-right party, in 2007 he said the muslim immigrants should be squashed like cockroaches. Fine that he stood against the Putin government, but as a person I don't give a damn he died

It would be nice to have a better word for this type of manipulation. We all do it constantly! My risk management is your gambling.
Yes. But not in the same media. /s
Journalists are hard working people who have a rent to pay, want to go on vacation and maybe have a family to feed.
