Mystery: Inquiries into the death of Dr David Kelly are incomplete, police have said
Further questions have been raised over the death of Dr David Kelly after police admitted that two personal items found with his body – his mobile phone and a watch – did not have any fingerprints on them.
The news brings the number of objects without fingerprints at the site where the weapons inspector’s body was discovered to five – the other three being the knife he allegedly used to slash his wrist, the packs of pills he is said to have overdosed on, and a water bottle.
It had been suggested that the lack of fingerprints on the knife might be due to the presence of gaffer tape on it. But Thames Valley Police have now confirmed that the knife had no tape on its handle.
Dr Kelly is said to have killed himself in 2003 after being named as the prime source of a BBC report accusing Tony Blair’s government of lying to take Britain into war in Iraq. No coroner’s inquest has been held. Instead, a public inquiry found he killed himself in woods near his Oxfordshire home.
In another disclosure, following questions submitted under the Freedom of Information Act, police admitted they still do not know who owned the watch found beside his body. Police did not bother to check with Dr Kelly’s relatives if it belonged to him.

Fingerprint expert Peter Swann last night called for the five items to be independently re-examined. Police have also refused to say if their investigation into Dr Kelly’s death is open or closed, admitting only that their inquiries are ‘substantially complete’.

Fingerprint expert Peter Swann last night called for the five items to be independently re-examined.

I'm sure that the Doyen of Dust, that Purveyor of Powder, the Antihero of Anticlockwise Rotation, could find some fingerprints. Shirley McKie's, no doubt. It should be no hard task for him to reexamine seven year old evidence already processed by the police, and come up with the results needed to prosecute someone.

And who would trust Swann to Re-Examine anything after his fiasco at the Fingerprint Inquiry where he was shown up for what he is ?

Is Peter Swann still providing opinions to the likes of CCRC ?

I did write to them raising concerns over any case he had looked at, and asked them to review any work he had done for them in the past once I heard him at the Inquiry, I got no answer though.

Anyone know if any criticisms have been handed out from the Inquiry team and who to ?

His evidence to the Inquiry was absolutely shocking.

What questions was it their Lawyer Russell asked him and Leadbetter again ?

Was it anything to do with Y7 or QI2 ?
