(CNN) -- A British diplomat was found slain at his home in Jamaica, authorities said.

John Terry was the honorary British consul in Montego Bay, Jamaica, said the British Foreign Office in London, England.

Terry, 64, was "killed by unknown assailants at his home in Mount Carey, St. James" on Wednesday, Jamaica's Constabulary Communications Network said in a statement.

Anyone else think that MI-6 should send out their top operative...?

Are you certain you didn't have anything to do with this, Count Blucher?

A burglar.

Or a failed romance.

Positive. I was underneath the mango tree, me honey and me, at the time.

But I've noticed that NASA is having trouble with their Mars missions. I certainly hope no one has been toppling their landers....

I know the name isn't quite the same, but I couldn't resist.

It was apparently a homophobic attack: http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-14021.html

A note found on the bed called him a "batty man" – a homophobic term of abuse. It added: "This is what will happen to ALL gays" and was signed "Gay-Man".

Although Mr Terry's wallet and phone were stolen, police do not believe robbery was a motive for the killing.

Those Jamaicans sure hate the bwatty boys. What's the betting the guy who did it was as ugly as sin, and still couldn't 'cop-off' if every other man on the island was a bwatty boy?

So, the killer didn't appreciate the diplomat's strange ways...?

He may have got into a Quarrel.

I thought he was killed with a Smith&Wesson, as he had had his six...

Have any British shortwave-radio operators gone missing lately, I wonder?

Authorities say robbery probably wasn't a motive, but did they check to determine if a rocks & minerals collection has gone missing?
