Journalist Still Missing One Year On
Police have issued a new appeal for information in respect of missing journalist Iain Parke and Inspector Robert Cameron of the Serious and Organised Crime Agency.
It’s now a year since Guardian crime correspondent Iain Parke’s mysterious disappearance which police have repeatedly linked to the suspected murder of Inspector Cameron who disappeared a few days later.
At the time they both vanished each had been investigating the Brethren/Mohawk biker war which had broken out after the missile and gun attack on The Brethren MC’s annual Toy Run on the weekend of the first and second of August last year, at which six people died; and police sources say they are still convinced that there are links between the two disappearances.
It is known that the two men were in regular communication in the period before they were last seen, including calls which were traced back to having been made from a flat in North West London. Police believe this property to be linked to the biker gang and blood, bullets, and both men’s fingerprints were subsequently recovered from it when searched.
Despite an extensive investigation, no body or the weapon that had been fired in the flat have yet been found and police have continued to remain tight lipped about what information their files contain about these discussions and each man’s activities at this time.
This has led to some speculation that Iain Parke, who had apparently been becoming increasingly involved with the gang while conducting an investigation for this paper, was either also acting as an informant for the police, or had lured Inspector Cameron into a trap at the flat on behalf of the gang; although both suggestions are strongly denied by this paper.
As with the previous book in this series, all characters, events, and in particular the clubs named in this book, are fictional and any resemblance to actual places, events, clubs or persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
For all of these inventions I apologise to the 1%ers in the areas mentioned, and any clubs with similar names or patch; and also, for obvious reasons, to anyone involved in the nightclub security industry.
