Part one of two
( This first part lays out the case from the
evidence presented in the Hutton inquiry why the death of Dr. David
Kelly was not by suicide. Part two will show the reasons, in this
writer's opinion, Dr. Kelly was killed.)
On Thursday, July 17th sometime between 3 and
3:30pm, Dr. David Kelly started out on his usual afternoon walk. About
18 hours later, searchers found his body, left wrist slit, in a secluded
lane on Harrowdown Hill. Kelly, the U.K.'s premier microbiologist, was
in the center of a political maelstrom having been identified as the
"leak" in information about the "dossier" Prime Minister Tony Blair had
used to justify the war against Iraq.
While the Hutton inquiry appears set to declare Kelly's death a suicide
and the national media are already treating it as a given, there are
numerous red flags raised in the testimony and evidence at the inquiry
itself.
Kelly's body was likely moved from where he died to the site where two
search volunteers with a search dog found it. The body was propped up
against a tree according to the testimony of both volunteers. The
volunteers reported the find to police headquarters, Thames Valley
Police (TVP) and then left the scene. On their way back to their car,
they met three "police" officers, one of them named Detective Constable
Graham Peter Coe.
Coe and his men were alone at the site for 25-30 minutes before the
first police actually assigned to search the area arrived (Police
Constables Sawyer and Franklin) and took charge of the scene from Coe.
They found the body flat on its back a short distance from the tree, as
did all subsequent witnesses.
A logical explanation is that Dr. Kelly died at a different site and the
body was transported to the place it was found. This is buttressed by
the medical findings of livor mortis (post mortem lividity), which
indicates that Kelly died on his back, or at least was moved to that
position shortly after his death. Propping the body against the tree was
a mistake that had to be rectified.
The search dog and its handler must have interrupted whoever was
assigned to go back and move the body to its back before it was done.
After the volunteers left the scene the body was moved to its back while
DC Coe was at the scene.
Five witnesses said in their testimony that two men accompanied Coe.
Yet, in his testimony, Coe maintained there was only one other beside
himself. He was not questioned about the discrepancy.
Researchers, including this writer, assume the presence of the "third
man" could not be satisfactorily explained and so was being denied.
Additionally, Coe's explanation of why he was in the area is
unsubstantiated. To the contrary, when PC Franklin was asked if Coe was
part of the search team he responded, "No. He was at the scene. I had no
idea what he was doing there or why he was there. He was just at the
scene when PC Sawyer and I arrived."
Franklin was responsible for coordinating the search with the chief
investigating officer and then turning it over to Sawyer to assemble the
search team and take them to the assigned area. They were just starting
to leave the station (about 9am on the 18th) to be the first search
team on the ground (excepting the volunteers with the search dog) when
they got word the body had been found.
A second red flag is the nature of the wounds on Kelly's wrist. Dr.
Nicholas Hunt, who performed the autopsy, testified there were several
superficial "scratches" or cuts on the wrist and one deep wound that
severed the ulnar artery but not the radial artery.
The fact that the ulnar artery was severed, but not the radial artery,
strongly suggests that the knife wound was inflicted drawing the blade
from the inside of the wrist (the little finger side closest to the
body) to the outside where the radial artery is located much closer to
the surface of the skin than is the ulnar artery. For those familiar
with first aid, the radial artery is the one used to determine the pulse
rate.
