A journalist and screenwriter and former member of a British
anti-terrorist unit, who went missing in Cambodia ten weeks ago, has
been found dead near the Gate of Death at the country’s ancient Angkor Wat.
The body of 57-year-old David Walker was discovered outside the temple by a child who alerted his parents who notified police.
Although it has been impossible to tell from the state of the body exactly how David Walker died, a statement made on behalf of the family clearly implied he was murdered and called on whoever was responsible for his death be brought to justice

Officials of the Australian Embassy, who represent Canadian interests in Cambodia, have been informed as have the Australian Federal and Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
A doctor who examined the body at the scene was unable to detect the cause of death because of the decomposition of the body. A pathologist has been called from Bangkok.
An Australian Federal Police officer is going to the scene to assist the Cambodian National Police and Australian officers are liaising with Captain Sok Houng of the Cambodian Immigration Police.
Walker’s body was found near the east gate, known both as the ‘Gate of
Death’ and 'Victory Gate' at the country's biggest tourist attraction,
which was made even more famous as the major location for the Angela
Jolie film 'Tomb Raiders' shortly after dawn.
Police will have to determine investigators suspicions that he was murdered somewhere else and his body late dumped at the temple.

Walker from Edmonton, Alberta, served with the controversial British Army 14th Intelligence Company in Northern Ireland. This unit was later linked to the infamous attack by the UVF on the ‘Miami Showband’ but Walker was not in the unit at the time.
