100 DEAD SCIENTISTS AND MICROBIOLOGISTS - The Master List
B16098 / Fri, 16 Jun 2006 23:09:18 / Miscellaneous
While some of these deaths may be purely coincidental and seem to
pose no connection, many of these deaths are highly suspicious and
appear not to be random acts of violence. Many are just plain murders.
If you see any incorrect dates or errors, please provide me with
accurate information, Thank you!

In the 1980s over two dozen science graduates and experts working for
Marconi or Plessey Defence Systems died in mysterious circumstances,
most appearing to be suicides. TheMOD 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.
Coroners 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.
Coroners verdict: Suicide.
November 19, 1985: Jonathan Wash, 29
Expertise: Digital communications expert who had worked atGEC and at
British Telecoms 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.
Coroners verdict: Open.
August 4, 1986: Vimal Dajibhai, 24
NOTE: My records show this date to be Oct. 1986
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.
Coroners 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.
Coroners verdict: Suicide.
January 1987: Richard Pugh, 37
Expertise: MOD computer consultant and digital communications expert.
Circumstance of Death: Found dead in his flat in with his feet bound
and a plastic bag over his head. Rope was tied around his body,
coiling four times around his neck.

been working on testing titanium for its resistance to explosives and
the use of computer analysis of signals from metals.
Circumstance of Death: Found dead allegedly from carbon monoxide
poisoning, in his Oxfordshire 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.
Coroners verdict: Open.
March 30, 1987: David Sands, 37
Expertise: Senior scientist working for Easams of Camberley, Surrey,
a sister company to Marconi. Dr. John Brittan had also worked at

sudden U-turn on a dual carriageway while on his way to work, crashing
at high speed into a disused cafeteria. He was found still wearing his
seat belt and it was discovered that the car had been carrying
additional petrol cans. None of the normal reasons for a possible
suicide could be found.
Coroners verdict: Open.
April 1987: George Kountis (age unknown)
Expertise: Systems Analyst at Bristol Polytechnic.
Circumstance of Death: Drowned the same day as Shani Warren (see
below) as the result of a car accident, his upturned car being found

didnt add up.)
April 10, 1987: Shani Warren, 26
Expertise: Personal assistant in a company called Micro Scope, which
was taken over by GEC Marconi less than four weeks after her death.
Circumstance of Death: Found drowned in 45cm. (18in) of water, not
far from the site of David Greenhalghs death fall. NOTE: My records
show Greenhalgh also died on April 10, 1987 when he fell off of a
bridge. 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.
Coroners 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.)

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.
