British Man Accused of Spying for Hong Kong's Intelligence Services Found Dead
ai generated text
Matthew Trickett, 37, was found dead in a park in Maidenhead, Berkshire, west of London, on Sunday. He had been charged under the National Security Act 2023 for allegedly assisting the Hong Kong intelligence service. Prior to his death, Trickett's case was expected to return to court on Friday. The exact circumstances surrounding his death are unclear, with police describing it as "unexplained".
An investigation is ongoing into the death, which is currently being treated as unexplained.
Trickett was on court bail, awaiting court proceedings, which required him to register at a police station regularly.
Any attempt to make unwarranted accusations against the Hong Kong government is unacceptable.
