The scene of the crime, really. Upon our return from Eastbourne we see Northumberland blocked off by police tape. An officer seeing my camera tersely instructs us to "move along". It might be an accident? What happened, nobody knows, or they are not saying. Tellingly a little white tent in front of the Nigerian Embassy immediately across the street from our hotel is the center of interest of the police. The police erect these tents to cover homicide victims. They are taking measurements, and many pictures. We canvas the desk clerk who bluntly says that someone was shot, and probably killed in what was described as a an execution. Was it a murder? I don't know, it seems all the information was embargoed, so far, no media carried a trace of the story.
