Read the full storyPublic inquiry into Litvinenko death under "careful consideration"
Alexander Litvinenko's death could lead to a public inquiry according to senior officials close to the case.
Rather than an inquest, the coroner has asked for a public inquiry- a request that is "under careful consideration at the highest levels of government".
A decision is expected by July 3, the High Court was told today.
Sir Robert Owen, in charge of the inquest into Mr Litvinenko's death, wrote to Justice Secretary Chris Grayling after previously ruling he could not hear evidence linked to the alleged involvement of the Russian government in public.
The ruling was published after the coroner accepted an application by the Foreign Office to keep certain information under wraps.
Mr Litvinenko, 43, was poisoned with radioactive polonium-210 while drinking tea at the Millennium Hotel in London's Grosvenor Square in 2006.
