Just another thought. Somewhere I read that when you have a double agent you're dealing with, often the only way to end the situation is to murder the unfortunate person. I have read a little on the subject of double agents in two books by Raymond Batvinis about the FBI double agents being run during World War II as well as similar information about the British SOE running double agents during World War II.
I don't remember where I read that double agents were especially likely to be killed after their principals were done with them. And I don't remember the actual reason for this, only that it was a well-known fact in some spy circles. If the victim were a Russian/UK double agent, then you have twice the number of suspects you would have with a single agent.
Could have been the Russians or the UK, in theory.
