Out of the loop here... foul play possible or is he still a useful puppet?

Putin is not the only one doing murder. People might be killing rivals or actually wotking towards ending the old elites.

Notably, not all Chenians are happy with this guy and Russian domination.

Could be either. Kadyrov is a loudmouth who restricts Russia's direct control over Chechnya, and has proved that he's not nearly as useful as he likes to pretend, but he's also an eager Putin bootlicker and a core part of ensuring Chechnya doesn't rebel.

Either way, I hope it's fucking terminal.
