Doubts: Timothy Hampton's family do not believe he committed suicide

The sister of a British scientist who died in a mysterious fall has told how she rescued potential evidence from being destroyed by police.

Beverley Hall, 49, said she has been forced to store the clothes her brother wore on the night he died after officers revealed they were due to be burned.

She is now campaigning for police to investigate properly the death of Timothy Hampton, who plunged from the 17th floor of a UN building in Vienna last month.

Austrian detectives have insisted that Mr Hampton, a 47-year-old scientist involved in monitoring nuclear activity, committed suicide.

But Mrs Hall, who runs a caravan park in Newbury, Berkshire, believes there is enough evidence – including signs of bruising around her brother’s neck consistent with strangulation – to suggest he did not kill himself.

Last night, Richard Benyon, the family’s MP, said Mrs Hall had brought her brother’s possessions to the UK to prevent police from destroying them.

He said: ‘She was in Vienna and was told that the clothes were going to be burned, destroyed. So she has had to bring the clothes back to the UK in sealed bags. They are sitting in her house.

‘One would think that in such circumstances the clothes would be kept by the authorities but not in this case. Beverley said she felt like screaming in conversations with the authorities. I am getting increasingly concerned.’

Mr Hampton, a father of one, was found dead at the bottom of a stairwell in Vienna at around 8pm on October 20.

An initial post-mortem examination concluded there were ‘no suspicious circumstances’ surrounding his death.

But his widow Olena Gryshcuk and her family were unhappy with that verdict and a second examination undertaken on their behalf found bruising ‘not consistent with a fall’.

One theory the family want the authorities to examine is that Mr Hampton, who worked for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation, was carried to the 17th floor from his workplace on the sixth floor and thrown to his death. Read more…
