Hilda Murrell

Chaps,

A story on the bbc website earlier today piqued my interest.West Mercia police refusing to reopen the Hilda Murrell enquiry.

I remember reading about this case a good few years ago, suspected secret service involvement etc, i am now trying to get a copy of her nephew's book "A Thorn In Their Side".

Any other. links. book suggestions, personalopinions that won't involve youmysteriously disappearing etc for me to gain further insight into the case?

Why would the secret service want her dead, read that link to who she was, never heard of her, but didn't really say anything about why a government would want her dead, purely because they'd be a list, surely, of people who damaged the country far more than an anti-nuclear activist who used to be a florist?

There was a big thing at the time of her death surrounding 'secrets' she had about the sinking of the General Belgrano during the Falklands War. Claims were made that she was killed to keep her quiet about it - strange on a few points, the major being that what she said was later proven to be wrong and also because many other similar conspiracy theories were floating around at the time, yet nobody else was murdered.
Her son, who was an officer in the navy, wrote a book about it and never fails to mention he was working in naval intelligence at the time, presumably to give his claims more credence. What he fails to mention is his role was minor and if there had been a conspiracy he wasn't in a position to know about it - plus the later facts emerging that showed the conspiracy didn't exist, and that nobody else in intelligence has ever backed up his claims.
Sometimes a tragic murder of an elderly woman by a burglar is exactly what it seems.
