ROMANS: In Russia, murdered opposition leader, Boris Nemtsov, will be buried later this morning. Mourners filing past his coffin at a memorial service for Nemtsov underway right now at the Sakrav Center in Moscow. He was gunned down Friday while walking outside the kremlin. The 23-year-old Ukrainian model who was with him she says she never saw the shooter. The kremlin describing the killing as provocation designed to stain the reputation of President Vladimir Putin. Let's go to Moscow. I want to bring in CNN's international senior correspondent, Matthew Chance. Let's talk first about this witness, the closest witness we have, the Ukrainian model, who was his girlfriend. What did she say she saw and there is the controversy if she was detained by Russian authorities or free to go.</s>MATTHEW CHANCE, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes, she has been free to go now. In fact, she's already gone back to Ukraine. She was handed over to the consulate services of the Ukrainian embassy in Moscow. They took her back to Ukraine at the first possible opportunity. She gave an interview to a local television station here yesterday on Skype from Moscow saying that she could not add much to what was known about the killing of Boris Nemtsov. She was standing right next to her boyfriend of several years at the time he was killed. She said the gunman came out of nowhere and fired shots in the back of Boris Nemtsov. She was in shock and did not see what happened. She did not see where the gunman came from or couldn't describe the car into which he had made his getaway. So she was questioned by authorities here and detained for further questioning according to authorities but subsequently released. It is not clear if she will be able to add much more to the clarity of what we know about this killing.</s>ROMANS: All right, Matthew Chance for us this morning in Moscow. Thank you, Matthew. It's 53 minutes the hour, $2 gas is gone, for now. What to expect at the pump? That's next.
