Jimmy Savile's chauffeur found dead

[Saint-Armstrong]

David Smith found dead at his home. Had been brought in as part of Yewtree and was expected to stand trial for sexual abuse of a 12 year old lad.

 

Truth taken to the grave now, I'd imagine.

[Colinjb]

I'm assuming suicide.

 

Coward.

Seems he was nothing to do with the Saville case

 

Mr Smith was investigated under the third strand, concerning accusations of sexual abuse unconnected to Savile but made by people who came forward following publicity surrounding the Savile allegations.

Just went to the BBC news site, WTF:

A previous attempt to track down Smith in 2002 had failed when police could not find him - even though he was in prison at the time.

22 convictions dating back to 1966. Just the sort of person you'd want as a BBC driver.

Until I saw the news this morning I wasnt aware he had previous convictions .

Is it possible all jimmy savilles driver's were special chosen for the role

 

Mr Teret for instance is now facing charges, He used to live with Saville

As I know 3 David smiths I would imagine it is one of the hardest names to track and check!
