Son of murdered private detective slams ‘cancerous’ culture of the Metropolitan police after findings of institutional corruption
The son of Daniel Morgan, a private detective who was brutally murdered in 1987, has said that the Metropolitan police commissioner, Cressida Dick, should consider her position and labelled the culture of the force “cancerous” after it was found to be institutionally corrupt.
Morgan was found dead with an axe embedded in his head in a Sydenham pub car park on 10 March 1987. Despite five police inquiries and an inquest, nobody has ever been brought to justice over his death and the force has admitted corruption over the original investigation.
