The details would make for a great mystery/spy thriller movie.
Heywood worked for the intel business Hakluyt & Co. the MI-6 connection.
Bo’s wife, lawyer Bo Gu Kailai, is in jail along with her assistant Zhang Xiaojun. Heywood was a frequent guest and involved with both in “trading” activities. Heywood used their connections to travel freely and meet high level business and political connections.
Seems Heywood was found dead at the age of 41, highly intoxicated, cause of death was a “heart attack” some days after he told a friend he was in trouble. In a highly unusual move, he was cremated without autopsy against the wishes of his mother and the British Consulate.
Bo’s police chief Wang Lijun fled to the US consulate in Chengdu and offered details on the whole affair but was handed over to Beijing and Bo was immediately dumped.
Heywood may have been the bag man for payoffs to Taiwan businessmen, just a rumor, lots of chatter.
Gonna be a bumpy ride. Wish I was closer so I could write the screenplay.
