Summary
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR DANIEL MORGAN WAS MURDERED WITH AN AXE TO THE HEAD IN A PUB CAR PARK ON 10TH MARCH 1987, AS HE WAS ON THE VERGE OF EXPOSING POLICE CORRUPTION.
Daniel's killing is Britain's most-investigated murder case, yet his family still wait for answers over 30 years on from an 'institutionally corrupt' Met Police force acting only to 'protect itself'.
After five failed police investigations and a damning independent inquiry into police corruption, Daniel's murder remains unsolved. Intrinsically connected to the murky relationship between press and police, Daniel's death can even be linked to the phone hacking scandal that closed the News of the World. A lawless and twisted timeline of bugging, bribing and bent cops leads you to the body of Daniel - but not the truth of how he died. Justice is hidden in a web of corruption and cover-ups not only in the press, but at the heart of the Met Police itself.
Written by Daniel's brother Alastair with investigative journalist Peter Jukes, Who Killed Daniel Morgan? uncovers fresh revelations, new evidence and the latest findings of 'one of the most disgraceful episodes in the entire history of the Metropolitan Police Service' (an Assistant Commissioner of the Met).
