British diplomat Rebecca Dykes, working at the UK embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, was found dead along the side of a road early Saturday morning.
Authorities are saying Dykes was murdered after finding her dead body tossed to the side of a major roadway over the weekend. It is believed Dykes had been at a party on Friday night and left by herself around midnight. The woman’s body was found alongside the Metn highway. Forensics suggests she died at 4:00 am Saturday morning.
British ambassador Hugo Shorter issued the following statement.
The whole embassy is deeply shocked, saddened by this news. My thoughts are with Becky’s family, friends and colleagues for their tragic loss. We're providing consular support to her family & working very closely with Lebanese authorities who are conducting police investigation.— Hugo Shorter (@HugoShorter) December 17, 2017
Dykes had graduated from the University of Manchester and had a masters in international security and global governance from Birkbeck, University of London.
She was working as a program and policy manager with the UK’s Department for International Development and as a policy manager with the Libya team at the UK’s Foreign Office.
According to the Independent, spokesmen for both these departments issued statements on her death.
A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office confirmed Ms Dykes' death and said they were providing support to the family.
She said: "Following the death of a British woman in Beirut, we are providing support to the family. We remain in close contact with local authorities. Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time."
A Department for International Development spokesman said: "Our thoughts are with Becky's family and friends at this very upsetting time.
"There is now a police investigation and the FCO (Foreign Office) is providing consular support to Becky's family and working with the local authorities."
There are no known suspects at this time.
ROP strikes again
Rebecca Dykes loves Muzzies.
Muzzies don’t love Rebecca Dykes.
That’s how it works.
I would not recommend that strategy.
If I were the King of England, I would invade over this act of war.
An attractive western woman going home alone in the early hours of the morning in a middle east country. She might as well have drawn the target on her back herself.
The UK embassy permits that for their personnel in Lebanon? Seriously?

Did anyone actually proofread that sentence?
It is not King Richard’s England anymore.
Why do women do this? Anywhere? Leave ALONE after midnight from a "party" (where they likely get drunk). Sad. You see such rapes and murders again and again.
Seems pretty straightforward to me. Someone happened along and found her dead body by the side of the road. Given her condition, she couldn't defend herself so they murdered her (again).
That ain't no lie.
:(
She HAD to be silenced once she discovered her imposter's body!!! LOL
This is a declaration of war against England.
If the country had any balls England would declare war on Lebanon.
On the days of Churchill or Maggie T England defended her citizens
“and then laying in a Bombay (uh,scratch that) Beirut alley next day..”
:)
Almost as dangerous as pissing off the Clintons.
If this happened to US personnel, betcha Trump would give them a big bomb lesson.
Apparently she is like that woman that had those two pit bulls that mauled her . . . she trusted her dogs.
Well, this woman trusted Muslim dogs . . . and they mauled her.
Just another typical naive liberal Darwin award winner.
Liberals think they are safe from harm (or criticism) just because they feeeeeel for the plight of Mooslimbs. Feelings is all that matters when it concerns liberals.
They never learn, until they’re dead.
