I can't help becoming more and more curious over the death in hospital of Mark Thomas, who was one of three men accused of the shooting to death of Shafeek Bacchus.

Thomas was a patient in the Georgetown Public Hospital and was reported to have been recuperating very well.

However, shortly after a visit by some people on Friday, he reportedly started to shout for water and was foaming at the mouth and died shortly afterwards.

This man was linked to the PNC/R and it is said he was part of a security detail at their headquarters, Congress Place. What was he doing for them and their executives, I wonder, and what knowledge did he have of their affairs that, now that he was in Police custody, it was necessary to 'take him out' to make sure he did not talk?

For as we all know, dead men tell no tales.
Yours faithfully,
