'So he was arrested, convicted, pardoned and later swapped. What was the point of killing him years later when they had no use for him anymore?'
Well that's true. But he could have withheld some some sensitive intel from MI6 as insurance, which FSB only got wind of recently. Or maybe he was ready to go back to Russia and reveal intel on MI6 so they had him whacked and made it look like Russia. No one knows. But to blame it squarely on Russia or Putin is ridiculous at this point.
