However something went badly wrong during their consensual sex-play.

The other bag-perv panicked and locking the bag...what...disappeared into thin air? No Watson, we must be more expansive in our logic. Who would have difficulty wielding a cleaver in a holdall but could "disappear" from a bathroom leaving almost no trace? Exactly Hastings, from within the little grey cells an answer - a spider! Unable to manage the cleaver even using two or three of his legs, the spider accidentally kills the spy. Then legs it down the plug hole.

Indeed Lieutenant Colombo - another alternative theory to put alongside your own "only solution". Now hail me a hansom cab, if we catch the 11.35 we can be back in St Mary Mead in time for tea, two apparently unconnected murders and a serial poisoner focussing their efforts on retired East African district officers.

Whilst I will openly admit to most of my posts on this subject being uninformed speculation, so far the facts that are unfolding are proving me right, or at least somewhere near.

As I originally said the smearing about his sex life was highly suspicious , which has now turned out to be the case (see todays telegraph) and that the kill seemed to be done in a professional manner rather than a sex act gone wrong , crime of passion or opertunist robbery and murder.

That doesn't mean I'm going to be recieving a knock on the door from the fuzz asking for help ala miss marple, it just means I can usually see through bullshit and since this is a rumour website I'll wildly speculate if I want to, and I've never really worried what others think.

If you want to be Watson to my Holmes cuddles you really must try much harder.

I have always been told that I am trying, sometimes even "very trying".

Anyone who has lived in the Peoples Republic of Pimlico ( as I did in the early nineties, courtesy of HMG), will know it is an odd place.

Lovely houses resided in by people who havn't got the wherewithall to be in Mayfair, coupled with the the post ww2 doodlebugged estates across Lupus St, which are a modern day Fagins bolt hole.

A melting pot of nouveau riche, extroverts and just plain odd bodds

According to the media, police have asked for tests to be carried out on the body to determine if some form of radioactive compound was used to kill him. They're obviously thinking of the ex-Russian Spook who died after drinking glow in the dark tea a couple of years ago.

What's really interesting about the case is that I suspect that the press are being given far more than information than is usual.

As interesting & intriguing the subject matter is, I'm of the firm opinion:
Irrespective of what may or may not be reported (smoke & mirrors), the entire truth will not be made public knowledge! and TBH why should it? Anything of a UK secret int nature is exactly that & should remain a secret. If the bloke had been employed within a private company would there have been such a worldwide interest & speculation? I dont think so. Therefore it's not really the actual horrific crime which has gained such a large interest, it's because of whom he was employed by, which in my opinion should have remained a complete secret from the public as per the terms & conditions of secret work.

EOD has hit the nail on the head. Far too much publicity on this one. Who cares anyway ? Dead poof in kinky circumstances ? Is that news? Poofs in MI, yawn.
