The Metropolitan Police has admitted liability for a botched investigation into the murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan and agreed to pay substantial damages to his family.
Morgan, who co-founded PI firm Southern Investigations, was found dead on 10 March 1987 in a south London pub car park with an axe through his head. On the night of his death, Morgan had a drink with his partner, Jonathan Rees, at the Golden Lion before heading to his BMW to return home.
