The role played by ex Det Ch Supt Dave Cook in attempting to frame Jonathan Rees and the Vian Brothers in the murder of Daniel Morgan (Rees partner in Southern Investigations) is fully documented. Less so, the concerns of Cdr Dave Johnston, of the Metropolitan Police, in Cook’s fitting up of Rees. Johnston had grave misgivings over the use of Gary Eaton as a supergrass.
Johnston also believed that the prime suspect in the Morgan murder was not Jonathan Rees, but instead a member of The Met, FCR, now identified as Fintan Creaven. There are others within the police who will be named, as the murderer is now known to be an ex policeman (police at the time, 1987). This excludes Rees.
How much damage can New Scotland Yard take? Certainly, it is parsimonious in balking at paying Rees, in addition to others, adequate compensation, and in not arresting a known half Jamaican, paid perjurer, now in Shouldham, Norfolk. He links to Ian Hurst. How is Enya Ainscough of Wigan? Money is a funny thing, I went for a cheeky five mile jog earlier, finding ten quid in the snow. Gave it to a miscarriages of justice charity. Plod delenda est.
