- 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.

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.
- --Coroner's verdict: Open.
