Woman spots Putin’s face in wheelie bin as individuals say ‘what’s he put-in the bin’

A gobsmacked couple have spotted the eerie mug of a war mad despot in their wheelie bin. Bathed in an autumnal light filtering through tree branches, the face of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, has seemingly emerged from the shadows on a blue recycling bin.

Shannon Selina and her other half Billie Davis were utterly bemused by the spooky resemblance. The distinct outline of his recognisable head, with those all-too-familiar intense eyes, nose and mouth were seen in the blue bin.

Hailing from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, Shannon asked on social media: “What can you all see? ” Mate Filipe responded: “I see Putin.” Kyle bantered: “Wonder what he’s Putin in the bin? ” Xenia confirmed: “Yes l see Putin’s face clearly.” Juan chipped in with a quip: “Vladimir Myers.”

And Maria concluded the chatter with: “You’ve got a massively haunted recycling bin.”

It comes less than 24 hours after one of Putin’s allies was found dead by a Russian spy. Mikhail Rogachev, 64, is said to have fallen 110ft from a window at his residence, as per reports.

He previously held the position of vice-president at Yukos, an oil behemoth that had stood against Vladimir Putin and was subsequently forced out of business by the autocrat. Rogachev also enjoyed a notable career as the executive director of the Onexim group and later as deputy general director of the Norilsk Nickel mining giant.

Initial reports from Moscow media suggested that he had been battling “a severe form of cancer”, but these claims were vehemently refuted by his close associates, according to Telegram channel VCHK-OGPU which has connections to law enforcement and security services. His family maintained that there were no indications that he was suicidal and that he was in a “good mood” shortly before his demise.

His body was discovered in the courtyard of his tenth-floor apartment by an SVR employee associated with a former Russian spymaster. The individual was the personal driver of Sergei Vinokurov, ex-deputy director of the foreign intelligence service.
