LIFE IS GETTING MORE LIKE A THRILLER NOVEL EVERY DAY:

Police suspected a mystery man photographed with Dr David Kelly in Moscow in 1993 was BBC reporter Andrew Gilligan.

Police constable Jonathan Martyn Sawyer mentioned the existence of the photograph during evidence to the Hutton inquiry.

He was one of the officers who carried out a search of Dr Kelly’s home the day he was found dead on 18 July.

Dr Kelly apparently committed suicide eight days after being publicly named as the suspected source for Mr Gilligan’s report claiming the government had “sexed up” the intelligence case against Iraq.

Pc Sawyer said he took the photograph from Dr Kelly’s study during the search.

I have no idea what, if anything, to make of this. This story from The Guardian is, strangely, less positive on the photo than the BBC story quoted above.
