Do you seriously want to know or are you just trolling?

  I was looking for a short paragraph laying out a sane rationale for why Lugovoy might have killed Litvenenko. He either did it himself or was directed to do so. If it was the former, why? If the latter, who, and again, why? That you failed to even come up with that and instead are wondering whether I'm trolling or not indicates that either you are trolling yourself or that the situation is so complicated that you need way more space to articulate a rationale and you're just testing to see if I'm worthy of that kind of effort. Which, when you think about it, is silly, because your audience isn't just me, it's everyone seeing this thread. Putin is the obvious choice because shortly before Litvenenko died, he'd written several anti-Putin screeds for the British press. Putin might not have green-lit the murder himself, it could well have been someone in his intimate circle. Doesn't matter which, Putin's still the one to blame. Litvenenko was also anti-organized crime, it's possible one of his many enemies in that sphere could have influenced Lugovoy to do this. I don't rate that as particularly likely though. Lugovoy himself has taken the outlandish position that British intelligence did it, hah.
