Det Ch Supt Dave Cook, the Daniel Morgan murder and hidden clues.
Where does the culpability lie in the debacle that became the Daniel Morgan murder cover up? John Yates must surely be due some measure of blame, his mishandling of Det Ch Supt Dave Cook and other ranks such as Wood … Continue reading

“Broken Yard” and Stephen Lawrence.
Firstly to Tom Harper’s new book which I will probably treat myself to for Xmas. “Broken Yard” details many incidents which New Scotland Yard would rather forget. Not least, the murder of Daniel Morgan and the subsequent poor policing and … Continue reading

Open letter to Sir Mark Rowley.
Dear Sir Mark, Good luck in trying to root out wrongdoers. Regarding the Daniel Morgan murder debacle here are a few pointers. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/27/met-chief-denies-firearms-officers-made-walkout-threat-after-chris-kaba-case Vikram Dodd, as with many Yardian hacks, is on your payroll.

“S Town” podcast.
Not a typical true crime podcast. It delineates Woodstock, a small town in Alabama. The opening chapter has an eccentric resident, John B McLemore, making an allegation of a murder cover up. Chapter Two – there are rumours that Dylan … Continue reading

The Trojan Horse affair podcast.
No murders in this one. Compare and contrast with the Zinoviev letter. The initial Trojan Horse letter is an obvious fake. It combined Islamophobia with the UK government wish to put in place additional counter-extremism measures. Panorama covered the explosive … Continue reading
Serial podcast – the innocence or guilt of Adnan Syed.
On the whole, an excellent production from Sarah Koenig. I could have done without the one note plinking of a piano and phrases such as “Lucy Goosey” when discussing the credibility of witness evidence. “Serial” Series One focused on the … Continue reading

Institutional racism? Reassessing the Stephen Lawrence murder.
The MacPherson report was damning of the Metropolitan Police, but how accurate was it? John “O.J” Davidson was not stomping around in KKK robes, nor were any of his superior officers. Never conflate an inept investigation (such as the Daniel … Continue reading

“The teacher’s pet” podcast, Australian true crime.
Whilst I would eagerly follow “Bowraville” and the Kiwi “Black hands” podcasts, most of ” The Teacher’s pet” dragged, with a total of 24 hours, it was far too long to binge. Episode One – Did Lyn Dawson appear in … Continue reading

Daily Mail, Daniel Morgan and Stephen Lawrence.
Another interesting article from Michael Gillard, focusing on Jonathan Rees and aspects of true crime and the media. The infiltration by the Metropolitan Police of the Stephen Lawrence family campaign for justice mirrors that of Daniel Morgan. Theft of documents … Continue reading

Cressida Dick – resignation and aftermath.
A very few words on the recent kerfuffle on the media frenzy surrounding Dame Dick. She claims to have been “intimidated” yet led the Metropolitan Police and had 40,000 armed staff at her disposal. How much did the backwash of … Continue reading
