One of the UK’s most respected international criminal lawyers who was representing Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has died after being hit by a train in West Hampstead.
Married father of two John Jones, QC, worked at renowned legal chambers, Doughty Street and died last Monday morning. Police say they are not treating the death as suspicious.
The 48-year-old barrister has been described as “a giant in his field” by colleagues, who said that his death is “a monumental loss to the cause of international justice and human rights.”
Oxford graduate Mr Jones, who took silk in 2013, specialised in extradition, war crimes and counter-terrorism, representing clients from around the world in high profile cases.

no, no coincidence
Being hit by a train is always suspicious. Is there surveillance video, or was the camera curiously malfunctioning at the time?
Stop being paranoid...he was picking up crushed pemnies on the tracks, and did notlook up....
Wow. Nothing suspicious about that.
