Dr Richard Holmes: another Porton Down scientist suicided?

[scienceplease 2]

March 2011 A British deputy chief constable, who was under investigation for making lewd remarks at female colleagues, is said to have committed suicide at his home in Wiltshire.

David Ainsworth had knowledge of and was concerned about the Porton Down cover-up involving 109 missing RAF servicemen who had attended Porton Down.

His brother has voiced concerns over the manner of his death and subsequent Police investigation.

Strong indication of how utterly dire our national media has become.
And how the Chief Constables and civilian Directors Of Communiactions in our police forces nor the MoD now feel no duty to press or public who pay their wages whatever.
He died 11 days ago and there is no mention of it anywhere in the UK press except The Mail On Sunday today.
Shocking.
Shocking.
The control of perception is horrifying.
And his widow Susan Holmes is Porton Down's head of business administration, what 'business' is going on at the UK chemical and biological weapons research facility?

By Nick Constable and Ian Gallagher - 21 April 2012
A weapons expert who worked with Dr David Kelly at the Government’s secret chemical warfare laboratory has been found dead in an apparent suicide.


The cause of Richard Holmes's death is still unknown.

In circumstances strongly reminiscent of Dr Kelly’s own mysterious death nine years ago, the body of Dr Richard Holmes was discovered in a field four miles from the Porton Down defence establishment in Wiltshire. It is not yet known how he died.
Mr Holmes, 48, had gone missing two days earlier after telling his wife he was going out for a walk – just as Dr Kelly did before he was found dead at an Oxfordshire beauty spot in July 2003.
Police said there were no suspicious circumstances in the latest case but revealed that Dr Holmes had ‘recently been under a great deal of stress’.
He resigned from Porton Down last month, although the centre yesterday refused to explain why.
Inevitably, the parallels between the two cases will arouse the suspicions of conspiracy theorists.
Despite Lord Hutton’s ruling eight years ago that Dr Kelly committed suicide, many people – among them a group of doctors – believe his inquiry was insufficient and have demanded a full inquest.
Some believe Dr Kelly, who kept an office at Porton Down right up until his death, was murdered. He was outed as being the source of a BBC report that Downing Street ‘sexed up’ evidence of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction to justify going to war.
Although it is not clear if the two scientists were close, one source told The Mail on Sunday that they were friendly when they worked at Porton Down in the Nineties.
At the time, Dr Holmes ran a project organising the installation of chemical protection equipment in RAF Sentinel spy planes, while Dr Kelly was head of microbiology and frequently toured the former Soviet Union as a weapons inspector.
After the first Gulf War, Dr Holmes is also thought to have worked on the production of chemical protection suits for troops. In 1991 he was the joint author of a scientific paper about an RAF chemical and biological protection system.
Yesterday, a Porton Down spokesman confirmed Dr Holmes had quit his job but declined to comment further. ‘It is not our policy to speak openly about any individual who works for us,’ she said.
Before finding his body, Wiltshire Police made a public appeal for information but warned people not to approach Dr Holmes for their own safety because they believed he had been ‘looking at information on the internet regarding self-harm and the use of toxic substances’.
Friends of Dr Holmes say this disclosure irritated his family, who questioned why a scientist engaged in chemical warfare research would ‘need to Google toxic substances’.
Dr Holmes’s widow, Susan, is a chemist who also works at Porton Down as head of business administration.
One of the Government’s most sensitive and secretive military facilities, the site has long been the focus of controversy.
Three years ago hundreds of ex-servicemen who were used as chemical warfare guinea pigs there between 1939 and 1989 were given compensation and an apology from the Ministry of Defence.
They were tested with the nerve agent sarin, but some of those involved claimed they had been told they were taking part in cold-remedy trials.
Many suffered serious illnesses after exposure to the gas, which was developed by the Nazis during the Second World War.
An inquest into Dr Holmes’s death was opened and adjourned by Wiltshire Coroner David Ridley last week. Coroner’s officer Paul Tranter said Dr Holmes’s family had grown concerned for his wellbeing after he failed to return from a walk on April 11.
A search party involving police and members of the other emergency services began combing waste ground close to his home in the Bishopsdown area of Salisbury.
Police discovered his body half a mile away in a field used regularly by dog-walkers and joggers in the village of Laverstock.
Mr Tranter said the results of tests carried out to establish the cause of death would not be known for several weeks.
He added: ‘Police do not consider this death to be suspicious in any way, nor do they believe there was any third-party involvement.’

Porton Down Scientist Found Dead

Porton Down Testing

What is it about scientists working at Porton Down that make them want to commit suicide?

Just recently, the body of Dr Richard Holmes, 48, was found in a field only 4 miles away, and in very similar circumstances to the now infamous “suicide” of UK weapons inspector to Iraq, Dr David Kelly back in 2003. Holmes too, was a weapons scientist working at the government’s secret chemical warfare laboratory, until he resigned a few weeks ago.

Porton Down in Wiltshire, England, is situated on some 7,000 acres and is home to the UK’s CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) defence establishment. Porton Down has always been a highly secretive facility, with much of the work that goes on there protected from oversight. Controversy continually surrounds Porton Down ; Monkeys and other animals were routinely tested, but more alarmingly, it emerged some three years ago that hundreds of ex-servicemen were used as chemical warfare guinea pigs there between 1939 and 1989. A group of 369 servicemen affected launched legal action against the MoD last March, arguing that tests – including being sent to gas chambers and being exposed to nerve gas, mustard gas and teargas – had left them with health problems ranging from respiratory and skin diseases to cancer and psychological problems. They were later given a paltry £8,000 compensation and an apology from the Ministry of Defence.∗

According to local police there were no unusual circumstances surrounding the death of Mr Holmes but they did say that he had ‘recently been under a great deal of stress’. Similarly, this was also one of the reasons fed to the public for Dr David Kelly’s apparent suicide in 2003.

Dr Holmes, like Dr Kelly, also told his wife that he was ‘going out for a walk’ before later being found dead. Holmes had recently resigned from his job at the facility and was said to be under some considerable stress. Dr Kelly was found dead only days after appearing in front of a parliamentary hearing. Kelly was outed as the source of a leak which exposed the then Blair government as having “sexed up” a dossier on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction which ultimately led to the invasion of Irag. The dossier claimed that Iraq had chemical and biological weapons and that it had even reconstituted it’s nuclear weapons programme. No “weapons of mass destruction” were ever found and Iraq’s capability to deliver the non existent weapons was also outrageously overstated. All of the allegations contained within the dossier have since been proven completely false.

Daily Mail Headline In 2010

The Hutton Inquiry reached the conclusion that Dr Kelly had taken his own life by slitting his left wrist and overdosing on Coproxamol tablets despite much of the crime scene evidence to the contrary. In his 2007 book The Strange Death of David Kelly, Norman Baker MP argued that Kelly was almost certainly murdered. He described the police investigation and Hutton Inquiry as a ‘farce’, which failed to investigate numerous discrepancies and anomalies in the physical, medical and witness evidence. On publication of the report of the Hutton enquiry, many UK newspapers accused the government of a “whitewash”. Not surprisingly, Lord Hutton (appointed by the then Labour government), unsurprisingly cleared the government of any wrongdoing.

Dr Kelly before he was "suicided".

A British ambassador called David Broucher reported a conversation with Dr Kelly at a Geneva meeting in February 2003. Broucher related that Kelly said he had assured his Iraqi sources that there would be no war if they co-operated, and that a war would put him in an ‘ambiguous’ moral position.

Broucher had asked Kelly what would happen if Iraq were invaded, and Kelly had replied, ‘I will probably be found dead in the woods.‘
