The (former) bank worker, the copper, the acid bath and the cook.

[Magda Hassan]

Just posting this here to see how this pans out. Maybe a garden variety gay sex murder. Tragic and a personal loss for his loved ones. Or it maybe some thing else entirely. The perpetrator, Stefano Brizzi

A former computer programmer at Morgan Stanley, he was said to have been classically educated in Latin and Greek at an elite Italin university.

He first came to London six years ago and had lived in the Peabody flat for more than three years. He works as a freelance social worker with a private company.

Well, really. I am not buying the exotic 'freelance social worker for a private compay' cover for a second. Just wondering if it is some 'banking' social cleansing freelance worker though.

'Much loved': Gordon Semple, here with a great-nephew, went missing a week ago. His mutilated body was found in a studio flat near the Shard

A man has been charged with the murder of a serving Met Police officer whose dismembered body was found in an acid bath.
Stefano Brizzi, 49, has been charged with the murder of Gordon Semple, whose body was found in a flat on the Peabody Estate in Southwark on Thursday afternoon.
Brizzi will appear via videolink at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Monday morning.
Neighbours told how earlier they had knocked on the gay 49-year-old's door to complain about a smell and were met by the Italian in just a pair of Speedo-style trunks who said he was cooking for a mate'.
Detectives are investigating how PC Semple ended up at the flat, which is close to where the officer was last seen near London's Shard skyscraper.
The officer left a business meeting at the five-star Shangri-La hotel in The Shard on April 1 and was caught on CCTV walking in the London Bridge area. His partner reported him missing after he failed to return to their home in Kent and a London-wide search was launched.
Six days later the 59-year-old's remains were discovered in a studio home on the Peabody Estate close to The Shard.
Officers said the condition of the body parts means it may take some time for investigators to establish how PC Semple died.
Residents described how police made the gruesome find after they dialled 999 to raise the alarm about the increasingly bad smell. One man who knocked on the door to complain said he was confronted by Brizzi wearing nothing but blue Speedo-style trunks.
A source told The Sun: 'Gordon's body had been placed in a bath of acid. But that did not do the job and so an effort was made to boil the parts away on the cooker.'
Scotland Yard refused to comment on the exact nature of PC Semple's injuries.
Martin Harris, 49, added that scented candles had been lit and placed outside the front door.
I banged on the door and a man answered wearing Speedos and a pair of glasses,' he said. I asked what was going on and he said he was cooking for a mate.



I said I was going to call the police but he didn't seem bothered and shut the door.'
Heather Brown, 55, who lives in the neighbouring block, described a horrible' smell and said candles had been outside the property for a few days.
Forensic officers have already spent more than 24 hours scouring Brizzi's home and have also been searching communal bins on the estate. Three police tents have been erected on different parts of the estate.
In touching scenes yesterday, police officers bowed their heads in respect as some of the remains of their colleague were loaded into a coroner's van.

Forensic: Officers at the flat after the gruesome discovery. PC Semple left a business meeting at the five-star Shangri-La hotel in The Shard on April 1 and was last seen on CCTV walking in the London Bridge area










Mr Semple, who is originally from Inverness, shared a £200,000 home in Greenhithe, Kent, with his partner Gary Meeks.

Mr Semple's brother Ronnie said: I would like to thank everyone for their kind thoughts during the past dreadful week.
Gordon will be sadly missed by all of his immediate family, but most of all the hardest loss is for Gary at this time.
He was a much-loved partner, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and cousin and our world will be a worse place without him.'
