Dr David Kelly update

The Mail reports more intriguing evidence about the oddness surrounding the death of Dr David Kelly:

'Dramatic new testimony has heaped pressure on ministers to reopen the investigation into the death of Dr David Kelly.

A female colleague claims that the UN weapons inspector could not have committed suicide as claimed, as he was too weak to cut his own wrist.

Mai Pedersen, a U.S. Air Force officer who served with Dr Kelly's inspection team in Iraq, said a hand and arm injury meant that the 59-year-old even 'had difficulty cutting his own steak'.

...

In a letter to the new Attorney General Dominic Grieve through her lawyers, Miss Pedersen also said Dr Kelly had difficulty swallowing pills, casting serious doubt on the Hutton Inquiry conclusion that he swallowed 29 painkillers before slitting his left wrist.

...

Miss Pedersen's view is significant because she knew Dr Kelly so well, both personally and professionally.'

And if that is not suspicious enough, add the details I have reported before and this from the end of The Mail piece:

'The Hutton Report failed to allay suspicions of foul play in Dr Kelly's death. On the morning of July 17, Dr Kelly mysteriously told a friend by email that there were 'many dark actors playing games'.

In 2007 it was discovered, through a Freedom of Information request, that the pruning knife he is said to have used to cut his wrist had no fingerprints on it.'

Something stinks about Dr David Kelly's death, does it not?


I see that The Ranting Penguin has some interesting views and speculation on this matter...
