No inquiry into Kelly’s death

BRITISH Attorney General Dominic Grieve has ruled out asking the High Court to order an inquest into the death of David Kelly.

David Cameron suggested a full inquest was unnecessary last month, saying the Hutton report into the government weapons inspector’s death had been “fairly clear”.

But a group of campaigning doctors, led by Dr Stephen Frost, accused the government of being “complicit in a determined and concerted cover-up”, saying they would now seek a judicial review of Grieve’s decision.

Speaking in the Commons, Grieve told MPs there was no evidence to support claims Dr Kelly was murdered.

The scientist’s body was found in woods close to his Oxfordshire home in 2003, shortly after he had been revealed as the source of a BBC report questioning the accuracy of a government dossier arguing the case for war in Iraq. The Hutton Inquiry in 2004 found that Dr Kelly committed suicide.
