Will Russia's Putin benefit from Prigozhin's presumed plane crash death?

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the foul-mouthed chief of the Wagner private army who masterminded an aborted mutiny against the Kremlin, has not been officially pronounced dead. Russian authorities have yet to confirm via a DNA test that the 62-year-old's body was among the charred and mangled remnants of 10 people found in the debris of the private jet that crashed 350km (217 miles) northwest of Moscow late on Wednesday.

Prigozhin was, however, listed as one of the plane's passengers along with the company's founder and neo-Nazi sympathiser Dmitry Utkin nicknamed Wagner.
