Stuck for one in this giant xword - Help please!

POLICE BEAT UP SADIST AND THROW AWAY KEY [5]

S - A - I

Spahi ??.

'Police beat up...' the answer is STASI (German secret police. It's an anagram of 'sadist', taking away the 'D', a musical key)
Your other one is DISC (dis= disrespect/insult, the C is from Cameron, whole thing's a circle)

Many, many thanks, I woke this morning with the unfinished xword by the side of the bed and came straight to the pc - my wife thinks me crazy!

A much better xmas for me and best regards and thanks to you both
