Marconi Scientists Mystery
In the 1980's over two dozen science graduates and experts working for Marconi or Plessey Defence Systems died in mysterious circumstances, most appearing to be suicides. The MOD denied these scientists had been involved in classified Star Wars Projects and that the deaths were in any way connected. Judge for yourself...
March
1982: Professor Keith Bowden, 46
--Expertise: Computer
programmer and scientist at Essex University engaged in work for Marconi, who
was hailed as an expert on super computers and computer-controlled aircraft.
--Circumstance of
Death: Fatal car crash when his vehicle went out of control across a dual carriageway
and plunged onto a disused railway line. Police maintained he had been drinking
but family and friends all denied the allegation.
--Coroner's verdict:
Accident.
April 1983: Lt-Colonel
Anthony Godley, 49
--Expertise: Head
of the Work Study Unit at the Royal College of Military Science.
--Circumstance of
Death: Disappeared mysteriously in April 1983 without explanation. Presumed
dead.
March 1985: Roger
Hill, 49
--Expertise: Radar
designer and draughtsman with Marconi.
--Circumstance of
Death: Died by a shotgun blast at home.
--Coroner's verdict:
Suicide.
November 19, 1985:
Jonathan Wash, 29
--Expertise: Digital
communications expert who had worked at GEC and at British Telecom's secret
research centre at Martlesham Heath, Suffolk.
--Circumstance of
Death: Died as a result of falling from a hotel room in Abidjan, West Africa,
while working for British Telecom. He had expressed fears that his life was
in danger.
--Coroner's verdict:
Open.
August 4, 1986: Vimal
Dajibhai, 24
--Expertise: Computer
software engineer with Marconi, responsible for testing computer control systems
of Tigerfish and Stingray torpedoes at Marconi Underwater Systems at Croxley
Green, Hertfordshire.
--Circumstance of
Death: Death by 74m (240ft.) fall from Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol. Police
report on the body mentioned a needle-sized puncture wound on the left buttock,
but this was later dismissed as being a result of the fall. Dajibhai had been
looking forward to starting a new job in the City of London and friends had
confirmed that there was no reason for him to commit suicide. At the time of
his death he was in the last week of his work with Marconi.
--Coroner's verdict:
Open.
October 1986: Arshad
Sharif, 26
--Expertise: Reported
to have been working on systems for the detection of submarines by satellite.
--Circumstance of
Death: Died as a result of placing a ligature around his neck, tying the other
end to a tree and then driving off in his car with the accelerator pedal jammed
down. His unusual death was complicated by several issues: Sharif lived near
Vimal Dajibhai in Stanmore, Middlesex, he committed suicide in Bristol and,
inexplicably, had spent the last night of his life in a rooming house. He had
paid for his accommodation in cash and was seen to have a bundle of high-denomination
banknotes in his possession. While the police were told of the banknotes, no
mention was made of them at the inquest and they were never found. In addition,
most of the other guests at the rooming house worked at British Aerospace prior
to working for Marconi, Sharif had also worked at British Aerospace on guided
weapons technology.
--Coroner's verdict:
Suicide.
January 1987: Richard
Pugh, 37

for it's resistance to explosives and the use of computer analysis of signals
from metals.

garage. The circumstances of his death raised some elements of doubt. His wife
had found him on his back with his head parallel to the rear car bumper and
his mouth in line with the exhaust pipe, with the car engine running. Police
were apparently baffled as to how he could have manoeuvred into the position
in which he was found.
--Coroner's verdict:
Open.
April 1987: George
Kountis age unknown.
--Expertise: Systems
Analyst at Bristol Polytechnic.

assistant in a company called Micro Scope, which was taken over by GEC Marconi
less than four weeks after her death.

Greenhalgh's death fall. Warren died exactly one week after the death of Stuart
Gooding and serious injury to Greenhalgh. She was found gagged with a noose
around her neck. Her feet were also bound and her hands tied behind her back.
--Coroner's verdict:
Open. (It was said that
Warren had gagged herself, tied her feet with rope, then tied her hands behind
her back and hobbled to the lake on stiletto heels to drown herself.)
April 10, 1987: Stuart
Gooding, 23
--Expertise: Postgraduate
research student at the Royal College of Military Science.

More than 310 Iraqi scientists are thought to have perished at the hands of Israeli secret agents in Iraq since fall of Baghdad to US troops in April 2003, a seminar has found.
The Iraqi ambassador in Cairo, Ahmad al-Iraqi, accused Israel of sending to Iraq immediately after the US invasion 'a commando unit' charged with the killing of Iraqi scientists.
"Israel has played a prominent role in liquidating Iraqi scientists. The campaign is part of a Zionist plan to kill Arab and Muslim scientists working in applied research which Israel sees as threatening its interests," al-Iraqi said.
