The death of a former Royal Marine who was charged with assisting the Hong Kong intelligence service is not being treated as suspicious, police have said.
Matthew
Trickett, 37, a Home Office immigration officer, appeared in court last week
charged under the National Security Act.
He was
found by a member of the public in a park in Maidenhead, Berkshire, on Sunday
and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The case
against him will be formally discontinued while two co-defendants could face a
trial in February, the Old Bailey heard earlier.
The men
- Chi Leung (Peter) Wai, 38, of Staines-upon-Thames, Surrey, and Chung Biu
(Billy) Yuen, 63, of Hackney, east London - were granted conditional bail after
a brief court appearance.
They are
accused of agreeing with Mr Trickett to act on behalf of the Hong Kong
intelligence service from December 2023 and also of foreign interference by
carrying out a break-in at a UK property on 1 May.
Mr
Trickett previously appeared alongside the two men before Westminster
magistrates on 13 May.
At the
hearing, prosecutors asked for him to be remanded in custody for his own
welfare after a suicide attempt, but he was granted bail and was found in the
park six days later.
In a
statement, Thames Valley Police said a post-mortem examination had revealed no
suspicious cause of death.
The
force said: "Mr Trickett's family are being supported by specialist
officers. Our thoughts remain with them and we would kindly ask that their
privacy is respected at this difficult time."
In a
previous statement, his family said they were "mourning the loss of a
much-loved son, brother, and family member".
Mr
Trickett served as a Royal Marine for six years and was also the director of a
security firm called MTR Consultancy.
China's
foreign affairs commissioner in its territory of Hong Kong has accused UK
authorities of "cooking up charges" as well as a "vicious
intention to interfere" in Hong Kong's affairs.
Algernon
Yau, Hong Kong's Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, said it was
important to "let the public know the truth and prevent unwarranted
speculation".
A UK
government spokesman said it would be inappropriate to comment while the
criminal investigation was ongoing.
