Former Crimewatch presenter Jacqui Hames believes that no one will ever be found guilty of the murder of Daniel Morgan. Still unsolved, the case holds the dubious record of the most investigated homicide in British criminal history.


But Hames told Byline Investigates: “In terms of someone being found guilty, there won’t be.”

The ex-Metropolitan Police officer was speaking ahead of a new, in-depth Channel 4 documentary, 'Murder in the Carpark,' which examines the conspiracy from all sides.”

Hames [appeared in the second episode of the three-part series.] She said that the films shed new light on the affair, enabling viewers to “draw their own conclusions,” about what happened.

Morgan was murdered in a pub car park in South London 33-years-ago, and was found with an axe embedded in his head.


He had been probing police corruption, in the run-up to his death, whilst struggling to get to the bottom of shady business dealings, that were going-on behind his back.


Morgan co-owned a private investigations firm in Croydon, South London.
