Successive governments have refused to allow a full coroner’s inquest to be held, fuelling the sense of a cover-up.
Broucher (UK Ambassador to Czech Republic) was called to give evidence to the Hutton Inquiry after telling Foreign Office colleagues of an extraordinary remark Dr Kelly made to him shortly before he died. Chillingly, Dr Kelly told him he thought he would be ‘found dead in the woods’ if Iraq was ever invaded.
There were no fingerprints on the knife Dr Kelly allegedly used to kill himself. And yet when his body was found, he wore no gloves.
The one doubt I have about him having been murdered is motive. Didn't his death simply shine the spotlight once more on the sexed-up dossier? Surely it would have been more sensible just to ignore him. After all, he'd already revealed what Blair's government was up to, and they still went ahead with the war anyway, so what was the point in killing him?

If I were Colombo, I'd be looking for someone other than the government with a motive for murdering him, a motive completely unconnected with the dodgy dossier. You could make it look like an obviously faked suicide attempt in order to try and divert everyone's attention away from yourself and direct it instead towards the obvious suspects in Whitehall.

Hutton was hand picked. The despicable Campbell was called to give evidence. Why not? He lies very well..
Until there's a coroners inquest the truth will be hidden.

sadly, there is nothing to be done with conspiracy loons who will believe the unbelievable no matter what. they are immune to reason, because they know nothing and think they are clever by disbelieving everything, unless it supports their infantile world-view.

Firstly, why no coroner's inquest? Secondly, of the details revealed how come he apparently cut his wrists but Plod said there was little blood?

the 1.01 is that you are an epic cretin. kelly did himself in, and quite rightly; he was a knobhead. kellys statement that he would be found dead in the woods is evidence that he hanged himself in woodland, not the opposite, yfsc. every aspect of this has been dissected and there is zero evidence to support conspiracy bollox from wanchors like you.
So calling Injera a CRETIN, a F****** Silly C*** and a W*N*E* in response to a question is not rude lfc?
Come on lfc we may disagree at times but you are better than that no matter whether it`s grappler or injera that are right.

Perhaps because he had sufficient knowledge and authority to destroy their entire case for war (WMD) at a time when public feeling against the war was high.
Why would the British government want Kelly dead?Perhaps because he had sufficient knowledge and authority to destroy their entire case for war (WMD) at a time when public feeling against the war was high.
Whether he was murdered or not is open to debate. Is it possible? Of course it is. Did it actually happen? I don`t know for sure but there is conflicting evidence.
Hutton declared that the principal cause of death was bleeding from a self-inflicted knife wound on Dr Kelly's left wrist.
Yet Dr Nicholas Hunt, the pathologist who carried out the post-mortem examination on Dr Kelly, stated that he had cut only one blood vessel – the ulnar artery.
Since the arteries in the wrist are of matchstick thickness, severing just one of them does not lead to life-threatening blood loss, especially if it is cut crossways, the method apparently adopted by DrKelly, rather than along its length.
The artery simply retracts and stops bleeding.

The information that Britain relied on came largely from Iraqi spy’s
This turned out to be unreliable , partly perhaps because these spy’s were themselves anti the sadism regime

How can I be rude when according to you I'm 'incapable of logical thought'?
I plead ignorance based on my working class status.
Meanwhile, back in the sane world, Kelly was murdered to further Blair's carnage in the Middle East.

People who were against the war seem to want to think that kelly was murdered The two things are not related , the war was going ahead based on evidence that was faulty There seems to be a need for the anti war zealots to make Blair or the British government responsible for his death

Untrue. The Kelly case has more holes in it than a string vest. Of course one can work backwards from the Iraq war to find a motive.
But that's not needed here.. The breaking of protocol by Plod and the Govt will come to light. Give it another 20 years though...
Blair and Campbell lied incessantly throughout the whole Iraq tragedy. If they told me today was Sunday I would check my diary...

Not hard to think of some who would have taken his life.
It was important to some parties that we did agree to invade Iraq.
These parties feared if Blair said there is not sufficient evidence of WMD to justify an invasion of Iraq
then Bush may have decided it against invasion himself.

conspiracy loons believe what they want to believe and post whatever nonsense they like, and when it turns out to be rubbish, they forget about it, and move on to the next one. remember hilda murrell? killed by mi5 they all said. when the real killer was caught, there was no admittance of being gullible or foolish, it was forgotten. when the salisbury poisonings occurred they rubbished the british govt. claims by reducing the case to one of moral equivalence with russia, that we are just as bad and the russians wouldnt do anything so blatant and what was in it for them? now... nothing. move on to then next one. no acceptance of being wholly wrong.
diana? killed by mi5. jfk? the cia. kelly? mi5 again. when fools like mac say we are dupes for only believing the kgb murder people he could have named a few of the prominent journalists, dissidents, or activists that have been killed by the security services. but there arent any. measure that against the legions of opponents murdered by putin, or xi in china. it is a myth that we are just as bad, and those that say we are make themselves useful idiots doing service to those who will do us harm.
corbyn( a long-standing supporter of cuban dictators, and a man who holidayed in the police state that was east germany) and his mentor seumas milne are not interested in the putins staggering list of crimes; he is anti-western, thats enough.

i didnt say we should believe everything or anything from the govt. that does not mean he was murdered by it. the fact he said he might be found dead in the woods is the most compelling evidence, aside from the bottle of tranquilisers he took, that he did kill himself, not the reverse, as posited by the op.
why would he kill himself, you ask? i dont know, and nor do you, nor does anyone, but the heavy probability is that he did. the conspiracists, though, will not have it. it may happen that incontrovertible evidence will emerge that he was killed but western security services seem to operate with such chilling efficiency that nobody ever breaks rank and spills the beans; witness the amazing silence from the vast numbers of u.s perpetrators of the 9/11 deception.
a point i laboured to make is that web-based conspiracy theories are damaging to us all because they throw up a fog of suspicion about everything, disregarding accident or ****-up, thereby aiding those who seek to profit from western confusion and anger, justified or not. it is instructive that conspiracists have no interest in far more convincing theories emanating from elsewhere, e.g russias apartment bombings, for which there is real evidence, not the usual confirmation bias. but they are not interested unless it involves the cia, mi5, etc
this might be a reflection on their comparatively benign nature. you can say what you like, they wont kill you. the fsb and the mss definitely will. no conspiracy there.

grappler - where was the blood? The report said he slashed his wrists yet Plod said there was little blood. The knife had no finger prints on it and Kelly was not wearing gloves.
Why no inquest? Why the Hutton Inquiry? No need for that sham when all you needed was a coroner and a team of experts.
Hutton had NO experience of a coroner's duties. The absence of key witnesses is glaring. And who appointed Hutton? None other than Blair's old flatmate Lord Falconer.
There's even a suggestion Kelly's body was exhumed and cremated.
I guess you also know it won't be 20,30 or even 50 years before files are released. It will be 70 (seventy) years...
Five doctors who made an application to the Oxford coroner to have the inquest reopened have been told Lord Hutton made a ruling in 2003 to keep medical reports and photographs closed for 70 years. "This is a revelation," said Michael Powers QC, a former assistant coroner and expert in coronial law. "I can't think of anything that would justify these documents being treated any differently."

It is a sign of a healthy society

It could be a military secret has to be hidden, but does not have the look of that.

David Kelly could have been a very temperamental man, or had other problems which contributed to his suicide.

If you would care to read my post again, sir, you will note that I did not support the sentiments expounded on the death of Dr Kelly in either of those two videos. I merely listed them for any interested forumites to view should they so wish. As it happens, I do not believe David Kelly was murdered. There are many inconsistencies in the Hutton Report that warrant suspicion to be sure, but not enough evidence to cry murder in my view.
I stand by my endorsement of James Corbett. He is a reseacher of superb credentials. You might be wise in future, dear chap, to follow his example of calm, balanced debate and steer clear of baseless ad hominem.
Best wishes.

Ah Pokermonster...the 2nd video contradicts the first...it puts all the blame on the BBC
Andrew Gilligan in particular. It appears he was the one who said the report on Iraq had been sexed up
not David Kelly.
Well that puts a rather different slant on things.
Still David Kelly's suicide contains many incongruities. So he still may have been murdered in the belief
he had said that.
WMD's were never found either.
Lessens the blame slightly on Tony Blair, if DR David Kelly had not in fact said that.
I still don't think we should have joined Bush in the attack on Iraq.
There have been far too many attacks by us on the Middle East in my opinion, and far too many bodies.
For a situation we caused ourselves coming up to 100 years ago now.
When we liberated Arabia from the Ottamen Turks we should have stayed out for good.
just my own opinion

I still do not think we should have invaded Iraq, in fact I have never approved of any of our interference in
the Middle East.
These so called WMDS of mass destruction, apart from Nuclear Weapons, they do not work?
If Saddam had had Nuclear Weapons there is no way we would have invaded would we?
All the problems in the Middle East emanate from one source in my opinion, which people see or they don't.
If I put it up I would immediately be misjudged, so I am not.
This invasion was only 2 years after 9/11, Bush was still in a state of shock. He panicked when he heard
the word WMD's. But if Blair had not agreed to go in with him, he may not have invaded?
I do not think any enquiry into David Kellys death will be reopened until Blair has passed on.
Very fair of you PokermonsterI still do not think we should have invaded Iraq, in fact I have never approved of any of our interference in the Middle East.These so called WMDS of mass destruction, apart from Nuclear Weapons, they do not work?If Sadda
Bush also asked France to go in with him into Iraq.. But they refused.
The American's punished France for this, by withholding some of their latest high tech stuff, which they gave to us.
Mind you France got back in Americas good books when it was Gadhafi's turn to be knocked over. They were first in, in was more in there bailiwick as well
The problem is we cannot fight terrorism with war only. We also have to win heart and minds. Which the Americans have ignored.
Also are we now really free of any Terrorist threat, of course not, I give up.

yes you are right...nearly Putin was President of Russia from 2000 - 2008, and then from 2012 - now so apologies
the genuinely scary machinations of putin, xi and co
can you enlarge on this? What scary machinations?
You have to remember that Putin is President of RUSSIA not this country. So he works for the interest of Russia and Russian's everywhere....that was his election pledge.
When the Soviet Union collapsed a lot of Russians found themselves in countries which were no longer part of Russia...his pledge is to stand up for them.
He supports Assad in Syria because he sell arms to Assad and has bases in Syria.
Putin is not our enemy.
I am loyal to this country ,but when we do wrong I will say so, I amake full use of FREE SPEECH.
More than most perhaps
No one has to agree with me, I argue my case.
