I was really shocked when I read about this. Sounds like there could be more to come out, what with the police finding "Swedish & Iraqi passports". Although there are plenty of plausible explanations for that, of course.

Awful story.

I suspect that the cyclist was an unwanted witness...

Along with 2 women and a 7 year old girl I'd imagine.

Word is already spreading on the net that he was an engineer who had been forced to work on Saddam's nuclear programme and that MI5 were supposed to be giving him protection from ..... the Israelis! Will be interesting to see what pans out.

I have no doubt that the net is as well informed as the rest of us...

As in none of us know anything - the point being that despite that people out there are making stuff up at a rate of knots, and forgetting that 2 wee girls are traumatised and orphaned.

White fiat uno spotted leaving the area. Prince Phillip aka 009 up to his old tricks again.

Maybe it's just a road rage incident.

Hmmm... As I mentioned on t'other thread about PTSD (probably the wrong place), the BMW looks like its got a wonky rear wheel - or is it an optical illusion? (it looks wonky on the flatbed too)

Then again, as I said earlier, there actually was a perfectly rational explanation for the presence of those Iraqi and Swedish passports, so it's important not to overcomplicate what happened.

It really is a mystery. If it was a movie, I'd be puffing out my cheeks, going "Well, that's just so unrealistic..."

The poor brother (assuming he isn't involved) must be feeling wretched.
