People demonstrate outside the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London on May 14, in support of the arrest of three men later charged with assisting Hong Kong's foreign intelligence service in Britain.A man charged with assisting Hong Kong authorities with gathering intelligence in the United Kingdom has died in unexplained circumstances, British police said Tuesday.
Thames Valley Police said Trickett was found dead in a park in Maidenhead, west of London, on Sunday afternoon after a report from a member of the public.British media reports say Trickett was formerly a Royal Marine who had worked for the U.K. border force. He was also reportedly the director of a security consultancy.
Trickett’s lawyer, Julian Hayes, said he was “shocked” at Tuesday’s news and was supporting Trickett’s family. He declined to comment, because investigations were ongoing. The spying charges came amid simmering tensions between Britain and China. U.K. officials have been increasingly vocal in warning about security threats from Beijing, and recently accused China of being behind a string of cyberespionage operations targeting politicians and Britain’s election watchdog.
