THE BODY OF an Irish man who died in his kayak in the UK in early September had injuries to his neck and wrist which “may have been made with a knife” according to the coroner for the Isle of Wight.
At an inquest yesterday into the death of Dr Morgan Savage (40) from Cork, the coroner for the island Caroline Sumeray ruled that the cause of death was a stab wound to the neck.
It’s understood that investigations are continuing but that Hampshire Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with Dr Savage’s death.
It had previously been suggested that the wounds suffered by the deceased could have been caused by a frenzy induced by hypothermia.
Dr Savage’s body was found strapped into his kayak on 11 September on Yaverland Beach on the island by a couple out walking.
It had been three days since he was last seen in the Sussex town of Newhaven where he purchased a yellow and black blow-up Sevylor Conrad kayak.
Dr Savage was not identified for some time after his death as no identification could be found at the time of his body’s discovery.
He was officially identified by a family member on 19 October following a prolonged campaign in the national media by the police force.
When are we ever going to get the names of the 350 + Irish Tax Defaulters? #hsbc Name and Shame
The people who hid money in those accounts, have and are being prosecuted. It’s been ongoing since 2011 and some names of those convicted have been in the papers. The other account holders had money in there legally if they declared it to the taxman. There is nothing illegal with having an offshore account so long as you inform the Revenue.
Rip off merchants of the HIGHEST order. The amount of red tape and charges I incurred while trying to close my HSBC account in UK when moving home a few years ago still makes my blood boil.
Amazing over 7 years after the crisis and governments still havent implemented any major regulations
If the crisis happened today, the FG government havent introduced any new laws that would bring those who caused the crisis to justice
No law against been just Stupid
You can’t fix stupid, but you can make it unlawful for banks to be run that way.
To be fair, HSBC didn’t involve themselves with reckless lending and they didn’t need to be bailed out by tax payers.
That’s a great start to their anniversary!
HSBC = Highly Suspect Banking Criminals
HSBC are some bank.
Money laundering,
Rate fixing,
Tax Evasion.
I think it was Barclays Bank, not HSBC that was involved in rate fixing but yeah they were involved with laundering money and tax evasion.
Typical due to the actions of a small few 50,000 people suffer good job HSBC!
It’s no wonder they want to move to the Far East. Less regulation. They have apparently learned nothing. And according to the banking specialist cited above there is no future for international banks in the US or Europe because of regulation. What a load of self serving hyperbole. These masters of the universe make me unwell. Their arrogance is utterly astounding. They have no loyalty to anyone including their own staff who have to pay the price for their incompetence caused by a lack of oversight, a lack of regulation and a lack of proper prudence in conducting their affairs. But the problem is apparently ‘regulation’. One would despair. Let them decamp. If they are not willing to conduct themselves then remove their banking licences and they can do business with those who want lower standards.
How a bank rewards loyalty.
