Ex-MI6 man ‘directed by voices’ to disclose secrets

A FORMER British MI6 worker, who says he was “directed by voices”, faces a jail sentence after yesterday admitting charges of unlawfully disclosing top secret material.

Daniel Houghton, 25, who worked for the secret intelligence service between September 2007 and May last year, denied a count of theft, but pleaded guilty to two offences under the Official Secrets Act.

Houghton, of Hoxton, east London, who holds British and Dutch nationality, was arrested in a Scotland Yard sting at a London hotel in March.
