So who killed the ex News of the World Reporter?

[rov1100]

///Sean Hoare, former News of the World showbiz reporter who was the first named journalist to allege Andy Coulson was aware of phone hacking by his staff and a one-time close friend of Coulson's, found dead///

MI5 have stated categorically they do not do assassinations and state publicly on their MI5 website.

So who else would want him bumped off?

Surely not the police that would be extending credibility too far wouldn't it?

So who makes up these dark forces with intelligence to pry into anyone's personal life, always know the victims whereabouts, who have widespread influence and can gain access?

I have no idea, rov, I haven't seen any newspapers today.

"Apologies Icheria it wasn't MI5 but an MI6 agent "

That makes more sense, whether true or not. "Foreign affairs" are more the remit of MI6, although they are still supposed to act only in an intelligence gathering capacity, and only then in an intelligence gathering capacity that benefits the security of the UK, although that must be an enormously grey area.

it was the "Fuggin' Grocer of Knightsbridge." He was ripped apart by Murdie and his henchmen.

Sorry to keep banging on about them, but the RT news channel had a ridiculous piece on their main so-called "news" tonight, devoted to quotes from bloggers and twitterati, and of course the inevitable comparison with David Kelly.
And the "piece de resistance" was an indignant observation from their (English) reporter in London that had it happened in Russia the BBC reporting would have been quite different, or words to that effect.
Maybe Mr Hoare WAs murdered, but there seems no evidence for that, and much evidence that it was natural causes. If it turns out that there IS a doubt then I'll be first to shout about it. Meanwhile as I get older and wearier all this idle conspiracy theory stuff just depresses and bores me.
