An inquest in Britain into the death of alleged Egyptian double agent Ashraf Marwan in London in 2007 has found that there was "absolutely no evidence" to support claims that he was murdered, according to dpa. Marwan, a millionaire businessman and son-in-law of former Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, fell to his death from the fourth-floor balcony of his London flat in 2007, when he was in his early 60s. Coroner William Dolman Wednesday recorded an open verdict at Westminster Coroner's Court, saying there was "absolutely no evidence" to support the claims he was murdered. In a statement, Marwan's family said they accepted the decision, while stressing that the coroner had ruled out any suggestion that Marwan took his own life. However, his widow, Mona Nasser, made clear that she still believed he was murdered. "He was murdered. I'm sure that there was somebody else involved. The truth will come out. They are still discovering things about Tutankhamun," she said. "How can he fall? Never. He was pushed." Marwan was suspected of having worked as a double agent for Israel during the 1973 war with Egypt and Syria. -- SPA
