Force had faced being sued in court over 1987 axe killing, with police corruption and errors blamed for perpetrators never being convicted
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.
Morgan was found dead in March 1987 in a south London pub car park with an axe through his head. His family believe he was about to expose police corruption when he was silenced. In his apology, the Met commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, admitted it “prioritised its reputation at the expense of transparency and effectiveness”.
