Matt Le Tissier slammed by his own fans for spreading conspiracy theories on Bucha massacre

Former Southampton striker Matt Le Tissier has been savaged on social media for spreading conspiracy theories about the massacre of innocent Ukrainian civilians in Bucha by Russian troops, with fans admitting it is 'sad to see what he has become'.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky visited the war-torn town in recent days, with dozens of bodies seen lying on the streets after being shot at close range. Many were found with bound hands and even displayed signs of torture.

Ukraine and Western leaders have accused Vladimir Putin's forces of slaughtering civilians and dumping their bodies into mass graves.
