Stalwart Norman Baker MP calls for independent inquiry into the death of Dr David Kelly

• New evidence proves that Ministry of Defence scientist Dr Kelly was murdered and new inquest should now be held to get at the truth!

Campaigning MP Norman Baker MP - one of the few decent men left in Parliament - insists Dr David Kelly’s mysterious death should be investigated by an apolitical coroner to establish whether the weapons inspector was murdered, the New Labour regime has been told.

His brave demand in pursuit of the truth was made in a letter to Attorney General Baroness Scotland following recent damning revelations that question the Hutton Inquiry’s finding of 'suicide'. Lord Hutton was chosen by the institutionally corrupt Blair regime to conduct an 'investigation' into the scientist's death but the eventual report was dismissed as a complete whitewash.

Following the discovery of Dr Kelly’s body in woods at Harrowdown Hill near his Oxfordshire home in July 2003, a coroner’s inquiry into his death was controversially halted by the Blair regime and Lord Hutton was wheeled out to produce the report the regime wanted and got.

Lord Hutton, a lifelong yes man to the Establishment, took over the quasi-investigation and concluded the scientist slashed his left wrist and took an overdose of painkillers after being named as the source of a BBC report on the Iraq war. Apparently, as the art of political lying went, he could not cope with the pain of exposure but in reality he was preparing to go back to Iraq and told friends the press coverage would "blow over" - not the actions of a man preparing imminent suicide.

But after the weapons inspector’s close friend American spy Mai Pederson cast doubt on his ability to kill himself – she says his right hand was so weak following an accident that he would have been unable to cut himself fatally – Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker has written to the Attorney General demanding an independent coroner’s inquest to establish the truth. But British courts have an appalling record where it comes to holding 'impartial' inquests....

Mr Baker, who has written a book on Dr Kelly, believes the Ministry of Defence scientist was murdered by supporters of the illegal war [Blair and Bush] with exiled Iraqi dissidents acting as freelance agents for the West heading his list of suspects.

In his letter to Baroness Scotland, Mr Baker argues that Lord Hutton’s finding of suicide would not have been endorsed by a coroner’s court because it could not be proved ‘beyond reasonable doubt’. Since the Hutton report was published it has also been revealed that there were no fingerprints on the knife Dr Kelly is supposed to have used and yet he was not wearing gloves.

He also suffered from a psychophysiologic disorder that made it hard for him to swallow pills – and when a heat-seeking search aircraft flew over the spot where his corpse was found shortly after his supposed time of death it did not pick up any sign of his body.

Some experts suggest he was killed elsewhere and a host of leading doctors have said Dr Kelly could not have killed himself by slitting his ulnar artery. The paramedics attending his body have also stated that the blood loss - approximately a quarter of pint - was inconsistent with the scenes of suicide victims they had attended who had killed themselves by severing the radial artery not the ulnar artery.

Mai Pederson, an American military linguist, has also revealed that Dr Kelly told her that he was on an Iraqi hit list and if Britain invaded the country ‘he would be found dead in the woods’. And Dr Kelly was 'found dead in the woods' but experts believe he was killed elsewhere and his body later dumped at Harrowdown Hill.

Mr Baker writes: ‘Lord Hutton appeared to have decided that Dr Kelly had committed suicide before his inquiry had even begun, and limited the evidence given accordingly. I argue, therefore, that it is clear beyond doubt that there was an insufficiency of inquiry, as a result of both the nature of the inquiry itself, but more particularly by the way Lord Hutton interpreted his role. There is much more that has been uncovered, which taken together suggests very strongly that Lord Hutton’s conclusions are unsafe, and that justice demands that there be a proper inquest.’

It is to be hoped that Norman Baker MP does not get an inquiry or new inquest similar to the Diana inquest which was also a foregone conclusion and like Lord Hutton, Lord Scott-Baker decided it was an 'accident' from the outset. It should also be noted that civil servant Lee Barnes represented the State at the Hutton 'Inquiry' and the Diana quasi-inquest....
