A WALK has been held in Germany to demand more investigation into the death of a young Harrow man there six years ago.

The body of former Quainton Hall School pupil Jeremiah Duggan, 22, was discovered on a dual carriageway on the outskirts of Wiesbaden in 2003, five days after he arrived in the west-central state capital.

Local authorities said his death was not suspicious, but his parents are adamant the young Jew was beaten to death by members of the LaRouche Schiller Institute, which they describe as a dangerous antiSemitic cult.

His mother Erica, from Golders Green, north London, and father Hugo, who lives in Harrow, believe Jeremiah was 'lured' to the town.

The Duggans visited Wiesbaden last month to walk the route Jeremiah supposedly ran in the 20 minutes before he died. They distributed leaflets and encouraged people to expose LaRouche's methods.

Mrs Duggan told an audience: "For six years we have tried to find out about the circumstances in which Jeremiah died. The German police closed the case without even a basic investigation, and since then so many families have written to our website, www.justicefor jeremiah.com, telling me about the dangers of the LaRouche youth movement."

The 2003 British inquest returned a narrative verdict and ruled out suicide. The Duggans are still waiting to hear whether the Attorney-General will grant their request for a fresh inquest. A ruling is due from Germany's constitutional court whether to uphold an application from the family that there was 'insufficiency of enquiry' by the police force of the state of Hessen.

The Duggans' trip was documented by a Channel 4 news crew.
