Southern Investigations are in the news again. Daniel Morgan, a director, was murdered in the Golden Lion car park in 1987 and replaced by a man who had been investigating the case. So began the long running story of #metpolice #corruption and incompetence.

Southern were later implicated in various criminal activities including #phonehacking. Today they are named by the judge in the Prince Harry case. See under Gary Jones here:

POLICE CORRUPTION & THE MURDER OF DANIEL MORGAN
by
ALASTAIR MORGAN

In 1987, private investigator Daniel Morgan was murdered in Golden Lion pub car park in #Sydenham.

The Daniel Morgan Independent Panel revealed that #corruption at the Met Police highest level obstructed justice to preserve its own reputation. It unveiled a clandestine network of corrupt police, dodgy private investigators and senior News UK journalists.

Corruption was both at the highest level and even here in Sydenham. I had the honour of meeting his brother twenty years ago and tried to help the campaign. For that I was criticised by those who should have known better for bringing Sydenham into "disrepute". Today they should be hanging their heads in shame as part of the cover-up.

But I doubt they will.

The 36-year fight for justice by the family of the murdered private detective Daniel Morgan has finally ended with the Metropolitan police admitting liability for their errors and corruption, and paying damages. Mark Rowley said:

“I unequivocally and unreservedly apologise for the failure of the Metropolitan police service to bring those responsible for the murder of Daniel Morgan to justice."

And so it continues.

Scotland Yard is reportedly to pay a £2m settlement after admitting that the investigation into the unsolved murder of a private detective more than 35 years ago was corrupt and incompetent.

Daniel Morgan was found dead in the car park of the Golden Lion pub in Sydenham, south London in March 1987 with an axe embedded in his head. No one has ever been convicted.

“The significance of these documents would not have been immediately apparent when they were discovered in January."

WTF coming only months after the damning report on police incompetence, #corruption and Commissioner Cressida Dick.obstructing access to vital evidence.

36 years since the Golden Lion axe murser and it comes back to bite the Met yet again.

#sydenham #se26 #danielmorgan #metpolice

Time taken to tell murdered PI's family of documents is 'regrettable', Met says

In January 2023, documents relevant to the inquiry into his death were discovered in a locked cabinet in New Scotland Yard that had not been used for nine years, however, Mr Morgan’s family were not told until May 9, despite the Mayor’s Office finding out on April 24.

Daniel Morgan murder: Met sorry for not disclosing documents at HQ

"The Metropolitan Police has apologised for not disclosing documents relating to the murder of a private detective which it says were were found in a locked cabinet at its headquarters.

Daniel Morgan was found with an axe in his head in the car park of a pub in Sydenham, south-east London, in 1987.

Oh all of a sudden, The Met has found 1000s of documents about the unsolved murder of #DanielMorgan

🙄

#DanielMorgan

.... Yet another aspect of institutionalised corruption in The Met.

The Metropolitan Police have "apologised"after finding documents relating to the murder of Daniel Morgan in 1987.
The documents were never shown to the two enquiries into the police handling of the murder.
The IOPC found the Met to be "institutionally corrupt" and said the force had obstructed their work.
The documents were found in January.
