A Russian billionaire was killed in a road collision while walking his dog in England last week, it has been confirmed.

Surrey Police released a statement on Thursday confirming that Dmitry Obretetskiy, 49, died on November 30, following an incident in Oxshott, a village near London, on November 25.

Obretetskiy, the latest in a series of prominent Russians to die in the UK, was taken to hospital by ambulance with serious injuries, police said.

The collision involved three vehicles, officers confirmed. No arrests have been made and an investigation is ongoing.

In the police statement, Obretetskiy's family described him as a "quiet and private man."

"We have lost a most amazing person who filled our lives," the statement continued. "We would ask people not to speculate on the circumstances of the incident, as this may impact the ongoing investigation, and it causes us additional anxiety and pain at this most difficult time."

Pavel Borovkov, a friend of Obretetskiy for 15 years, confirmed to CNN that the comments he made to Russian website Life, where he questioned whether Obretetskiy was deliberately killed, were accurate
.
Borovkov had told Life: "You know, the people in London drive very carefully. I do not rule out a fact that he was deliberately knocked over (by the car)."

Obretetskiy was the owner of Magnat Trade Enterprise, the official distributor of Mars, Nestle, Procter & Gamble in Russia, setting up the company in Volgograd in 1991.

According to the Russian website gazeta.ru, Obretetskiy and his family left Russia for London several years ago.

Not suspicious at all.

Assuming that the Russian government is involved (and they probably are), it's rather amazing that they're able to get away with this on foreign soil like that.

This wouldn't be the first time they killed someone on British soil.

I know, and the fact that they keep doing it is rather jarring.

Is it? All they have to do is pay someone to go to London and splatter him.

They've had people killed via radiation poisoning which is a bit more blatant than murder with a car.

You could have just addressed his question, but making a condescending post just required less effort I guess.

Really seems like an assassination would be better planned than hit him with cars and hope the injuries are fatal since they usually use more direct means to kill someone.

People tend to forget just how lethal car accidents can be, which is why hitting him with a car is a good way to do it.

Oh my goodness, that poor man died in a car accident!

Nobody ever gets shot by a sniper and is thought of as perishing accidentally.

It also causes lots of evidence and basically implicates the assassins who are driving pretty easily.

Doesn't make much sense when they used nerve agents for other assassinations which is more lethal and stealth.

it's the logical conclusion, even that one time in which russia assassinated someone they didn't like with a banned poison it was all them.
