Wagner warlord buried by father in grave surrounded by flowers

The grave of the dead Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has been spotted for the first time, following a small private funeral held for him that Vladimir Putin refused to attend.

Red, white, and yellow flowers were seen laid on top of a wooden grave, which was heavily guarded by armed police and private security.

The pictures were snapped at a small private ceremony for Prigozhin, held at a cemetery on the outskirts of his hometown of St Petersburg on Tuesday.

‘The farewell took place in a closed format. Those who wish to say goodbye may visit Porokhovskoye cemetery,’ Prigozhin’s press service said in a short post on Telegram.

He was reportedly buried next to his father in the small cemetery on the outskirts of St Petersburg
