THE family of private investigator Daniel Morgan slammed the Home Office today for stepping in to delay publication of a long-awaited report on his unsolved murder
Mr Morgan was killed with an axe in the car park of the Golden Lion pub in Sydenham, south-east London, on March 10 1987.
Despite five police inquiries and an inquest, no-one has been brought to justice over the father-of-two’s death, with the Metropolitan Police admitting that corruption had hampered the original investigation.
