Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has been buried in his home city of St. Petersburg with a private funeral ceremony.
Russian officials confirmed his death after forensic and DNA testing was conducted on the wreckage of a private plane which crashed near Moscow in August.
The 62-year-old was one of 10 individuals on board the doomed light aircraft as all died in the crash.
The Kremlin has denied speculation it was responsible for Prigozhin's death.
