Ken Masters was the Military Police investigator based in Southern Iraq who was investigating the reports of abuse and torture of Iraqis by the British military. He allegedly committed suicide. He was also investigating the scandalous breakout of two SAS dressed in Arab clothing who had been detained after their car was stopped at a roadblock in Basra and found to contain explosives and machine guns. The British Army invaded the prison they were held in, released them, and they have never been heard from again.
It now appears as though Michael Todd had been investigating more claims of British complicity in abuse and torture, but this time investigating the extraordinary rendition of terrorist suspects using British territory. It appears that he may also have committed suicide, though the initial post-mortem was inconclusive.
The BBC is now reporting GMP stating that no notes were found near Todd's body.
