Nicholas Mockford Murder: Was executed father-of-three linked to industrial espionage? Police probe motive for 'hit' of UK oil executive by two Eastern Europeans

• Nicholas Mockford, 60, was shot dead on October 14 but Belgian police imposed a news blackout
• Family fear he was target of 'professional hit' because neither his silver Lexus 4x4 or wife's handbag were taken
• Gunmen shot him four times, including once while on the ground
• Eco-terrorists assassinated him because of ExxonMobil's involvement in Nigeria, Chad and Indonesia, claim bloggers
• Victim's wife says killers demanded he hand over his car keys before shooting him

The theory he was the victim of a professional hit, possibly by Eastern European gunmen, is being examined because ExxonMobil have refused to release details about his work in 'intermediate technologies'.
