Yesterday I was looking at the venues and figures that make up the Lagos community and was extending our knowledge of Rita Dwyer, the Irish woman Murat says he met a fashion event and worked with Michaela Walczuch, his then girlfriend.

File followers may recall that it was jockey, Martin Dwyer who organised for jockeys to wear arm-bands during the June 2007 Epsom Derby. Dwyers (an Everton fan who was born in Merseyside) explained to reporters:

"we owe it to this little girl to make whatever stand we can - not just for her, but for all children, to deter anyone from doing something similar in the future."

Amongst Rita Dwyer's associates (often composed of Irish ex-pats) is Marko Aling - a Dutch man running the Arribale restaurant in Lagos (whose website was produced and served by a company in Leicester). Featuring in Marko Aling's list of contacts is Antony Healy and Jose Borba Martins - a flamboyant businessman who owns a toyshop and property consultancy (ROTA REAL) in Lagos (you may recall that Murat's friend Jorge da Silva owns a children's clothes shop in Lagos. In Dwyer's list is Shaun 'Murph' Linnell - formerly of Leicester City Council but now settled in Lagos. readers may recall that another Leicester couple, Freddie and Michael Linnett appeared on the board of Directors at the Madeleine Fund - the Linnetts having made their property fortunes after landing a windfall in Charles Street Buildings (owned at one time by her uncle's Leicester property family, the Murphys of Ireland.

Interestingly since mentioning this link to Leicester Police Authority on the morning of 02.02.10, Antony Julian Healy has removed his 'Linked-In' account. Google does, however, have a cache of Antony's page. Aling's Arribale website has also been been removed quite recently too. Similarly, a cached version of Arribale can be found at Google. Is Antony Healy a brother or cousin of Kate Healy? Well he was schooled at Cowley's Grammar School For Boys in Merseyside - about a 15 minute drive from Kate's parents, Susan and Brian, so it's plausible. Antony Healy, again like several other figures already mentioned, is also a keen golfer, having played professionally before training to become a Barrister in London. Healy has, amongst other things, was associate attorney with the European Medicines Agency - a regulatory agency set up in 1995 with funding from the European Union and the pharmaceutical industry. He is currently employed s Regional Legal Counsel by Her Majesty's Revenue as part of their Construction Industry Scheme (he has also enjoyed employment at Temenos UK Limited and LiquidityHub Limited). His special area include government, banking and Dutch.

Construction tycoon, John Geraghty was on hand to help the McCanns in September 2007.

Of course Antony Healy may have removed his Linked-In account for no other reason than he has absolutely nothing to do with Kate or the investigation and wishes to remain anonymous. There's also the possibility that people are deliberately linking to people with names like these to throw investigators. It wouldn't be difficult to target fellow Facebook and Bebo members with a particular name from a particular region doing a particular kind of job with the expressed purpose of laying false trails. Certain kinds of criminal networks can be very devious indeed.

With the exception of his appearence in a list of contacts associated with Dwyer, Aling and Borba Martins, there's absolutely nothing linking him to the Madeleine case. And unless he appears somewhere in Kate's extended family it's perhaps more likely to be pure coincidence.

Dwyer's own website - algarvepropertyconsultant.com - and several other remaining profiles - has also been removed and qued for deletion in the last few weeks (just like Beowulf's).

Jose Borba Martins, the golf loving toymaster from Lagos, is a more interesting proposition. He is in Rita Dwyer's list of contacts; Dwyer being the woman in Murat's list of numbers. In Borba Martin's list of contacts he has both Antony Julian Healy and someone by the name of Carla Gomes - the name of the lady who went missing in December 2008 and who worked for Remax Properties, the Lagos company who had previously employed both Walczuch and Murat.

What distinguishes Borba Martins, however, is his fierce nationalism, his strong views on the Algarve tourist industry and his love of poets like Pessoa and people like Agostinho da Silva, the Portuguese philosophical visionary, defined by his love of contradiction and a strong millenarian beliefs (much like Jehovah's Witnesses). In a strong-worded demand for the autonomy of the Algarve he charges the centralist goverment with selling out it's regions and its trade to foreign investors, which in the context of the Mark Warner takeover in April 2007, seems not unjustified. He is also fiercely opposed to rampant over-development of the Algarve, seeking instead to preserve its natural heritage and its regional identity:

"How much longer will the local inhabitants allow others, who have their head Offices elsewhere, to escape the tax burdens of the Algarve and instead pay other regions, generating revenue for those abroad? The current state of affairs makes it almost impossible for any regional or local efforts to capture foreign investments directly ... How long will the Algarve be obliged to kiss the hand of centralist Lisbon? - PELA REGIÃO AUTÓNOMA DO ALGARVE

Like Amaral he is a very active supporter of the PSD party's Algarve leader, Nuno Marques. Followers of the story may remember that it was Nuno Marques who is said to have stonewalled Inspector Goncalo Amaral's attempts to stand as PSD candidate in the district elections in the town of Olhão. Mendes Bota says Marques contacted local party members asking them to reject his candidacy.

Readers may recall that Madeleine went missing from Apartment 5A on a street that was called Rua Agostinho da Silva. A full account of hugely compelling interests and political drives can be found at his Telefe Wordpress website and his Hi5 page - which features a range of artistic and thought provoking images like that below:

Below: a screenshots of lead-in images to two articles on Jose Borba Martins's JB Dlegs Blog. The first dated May 2009 and concerning the slow death of regional identity in the Algarve. The second dated May 2007 and concerning the disappearence of a child. I suppose both may be construed as 'missing persons' appeals.
