This BBC story looks at the case of Georgiy Gongadze, the crusading Ukrainian investigative journalist who was murdered in 2000, and the continuing  fallout in Ukraine from it.

Some exerpts:

Two high-ranking police officers have ... been charged in connection with the killing.

The prosecutor general says they now know who gave the order.

These new developments have happened since the new president (Viktor Yushchenko) came to power.

"For Ukrainian people it must be the symbol of the beginning of the new era, when they can say that we are free people not just in terms of speaking about it, but of really being free," says Yevhen Fedchenko, a political analyst.

But it will not be easy. Last month one of the key witnesses died hours before he was due to be interviewed.

The former Interior Minister Yuri Kravchenko was found dead at his home. Investigators say he shot himself twice in the head and the authorities have said they believe he committed suicide. ...

A representative from the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly has been in Kiev this week on a fact-finding mission.

The human rights body is due to launch a new enquiry into the case.

Establishing who ordered the killing of Mr Gongadze could be one of the biggest tests for Mr Yushchenko.

But he has staked his political future on it.

"It's the most important case for the future of our government and it seems to me that the new president and the new government really understand what that means for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people," says Olena (Prytula, chief editor of Ukrainska Pravda, a colleague of Gongadze's).
